Before restaurants, he co-founded Redline Networks, a high-performance application-acceleration company acquired by Juniper Networks in 2005 for roughly $132 million.

Kevin Tan
Kevin Tan is the co-founder and CEO of Snackpass, the restaurant technology company he started in his last semester at Yale that turned takeout ordering into a social, viral experience. What began as a way to skip the line for campus munchies grew into a multi-product platform - mobile ordering, self-service kiosks, loyalty and gifting - used by hundreds of restaurants. A physics graduate, musician, and self-taught engineer, Tan raised $70 million in Series B funding in 2021 at a roughly $400 million valuation and was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
