The Bio. Han Kao, Metrofunk's Co-Founder and CEO graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Economics in 2003. Having spent most of his life growing up in New York City Han was always intrigued with the world of the trendsetter and their ability to influence people's taste in nightlife, fashion, music, and film.
But the independent nature of trendsetters (promoters, fashion designers, artists, film makers, etc.) resulted in the lack of a central source of information and trying to find events or information on what was going on in the industry was tedious and daunting. His idea was to establish an online medium that would both unify the trendsetters as well as aggregate the events and content that they produced.
So upon graduation and after walking away from generous offers from prestigious investment banks and consulting firms, he dove right into the world of nightlife promotions and spent two years promoting all the hottest parties and celebrity events in New York City. He built his promotional business into one of the largest events promotions groups in New York City.
His sole purpose was to understand what it meant to be a trendsetter so that he may affectively provide the proper tools and online network to cater to their needs. Then in June of 2007, after years in stealth development, Han Kao launched Metrofunk.com into private Alpha.
