Lincoln Quirk

Founder of Wave Mobile Money

I intend to use my life and career to bring about universal flourishing of humanity. I'm making a public commitment to that goal and I encourage others to do the same.

Lincoln started Wave in 2014 after dropping out of a Ph.D. program at Harvard. He is trying to make the world a better place through technology entrepreneurship, and has a passion for programming language design. Lincoln previously started several other companies and worked in the game industry.

He is a Y Combinator alumnus, and he has an Sc.B. in computer science from Brown.
