Meet the founder

Hi there! I’m Woo Kim, the proud founder of LynkMe Smart Cards. I’m an entrepreneur with a passion for innovation, an engineer by trade, and a devoted dad to four majestic furballs (my kitties—yes, they run the house).

From my early days in engineering to launching LynkMe, my journey has been fueled by a drive to bridge technology with practical, everyday solutions. Founding LynkMe Smart Cards wasn’t just about creating a product—it was about solving a problem: helping professionals like realtors connect with clients seamlessly in a digital-first world.

On this page, I’ve shared my story—the wins, the lessons, and the moments that made me stop and think. My hope is that it inspires anyone out there who’s contemplating taking the leap into entrepreneurship. Starting a business is never easy, but the rewards of building something meaningful and making a difference are well worth it.

This is just the beginning. I’ll keep sharing updates as LynkMe continues to grow. So whether you’re here for inspiration, insights, or just curious to see how it’s all going, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by! If you’d like to connect or chat, you can find me here on LinkedIn.

2020
During my time in CSUF, got an idea of a smart card that'd make it easy for people to exchange contacts. I spent the next 3 years developing my idea.
2023
Founded LynkMe Cards in April. Had no idea how to get customers so I started knocking on doors. Got more no's than yes's. Thought this won't work. Got my first 50 customers from door knocking. Met really cool people that introduced me to their network. Went all-in to serve real estate professionals.  
2024
Started focusing on providing value to real estate brokerages.  Our cards are now in the hands of thousands of agents, lenders, title reps all over the country. Grew LynkMe from a one-man company to multi-team company. Became a national speaker at various associations, boards of REALTORS®, and real estate offices.
