Gordon Lin

Gordon Lin is a Senior Director in the Orange County office of Cabrillo Advisors, a San Diego–headquartered financial services firm founded in 2006 that specializes in business valuation and advisory work — including mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, tax compliance, debt restructuring, growth financings, and transaction advisory. At Cabrillo, Lin co-heads the firm's life-science practice and leads its Shanghai / China business efforts.

His practice centers on valuation and advisory services spanning estate and gift tax, corporate tax planning, financial reporting, strategic planning, fairness opinions, portfolio valuation, and employee stock options and ownership plans. He has valued companies at all stages of development and across a wide range of securities — common and preferred equity, debt and convertible instruments, restricted securities, stock options, warrants, and other derivatives — as well as structured interests within private equity, hedge fund, and venture capital firms. His industry coverage includes banking, real estate, insurance, energy, utilities, manufacturing, technology, media and entertainment, aerospace, and professional services.

Lin earned his MBA from the USC Marshall School of Business, concentrating in financial analysis and valuation, and holds an undergraduate degree in international studies from the University of California, Irvine. He is an Accredited Member (AM) of the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) and, per FINRA BrokerCheck (CRD/individual record #5563774, listed under the legal name Chiaming Gordon Lin), is a registered securities representative holding FINRA Series 7, 24, 63, 66, and 79 registrations.

• Public sources do not show Gordon Lin operating as an angel or seed investor with a personal thesis, check size, or portfolio. Treat the "angel investor / seed round" label from the stub as unverified.
• His professional focus is valuation and transaction advisory, with particular depth in life sciences and cross-border (U.S.–China) engagements via Cabrillo's Shanghai efforts.
• He works across the full capital structure and company lifecycle — valuing early-stage through mature businesses and structured interests inside PE, hedge fund, and VC vehicles — which makes him a resource for founders needing 409A valuations, fairness opinions, or transaction support rather than a source of investment capital.
