On our 5th anniversary, we’re honored to have our impact and next phase of culture-defining work in Vanity Fair! 5 years ago, Gold House began our culture-shaping work with the debut of Crazy Rich Asians, convening the community behind the first-ever #GoldOpen with Director Jon M. Chu and his cast. The film broke records and began a groundswell of excitement and investment in Asian Pacific stories that led to this year’s historic Academy Awards. Since Day 1, a lean but mighty co-founding team of passionate volunteers has invested thousands of hours connecting with hundreds of leaders while building our now history-making ventures including: - Co-Founders Kevin Lin, Janet Yang, Patrick Lee, Maggie Hsu, Sanjay Sharma, Kevin Nishimura, James Roh, Kirby Lee, Jeremy T., and Bing Chen - The first program directors Megan Ruan, Mikkoh Chen, Yao King, Kaylyn Shibata, Cindy Joung, Laura Choi, Ben Chu, CPA, Chiharu Iijima, James Kuk, Josh Jun, and Christopher Au and their 100-person global Fellowship army - The next Board Directors once we incorporated as a nonprofit including Prabal Gurung, Michelle Lee, and Daniel Dae Kim; and our newest Directors Agnes Chu and Helen Lin - And long-standing collaborations with Eric Feng, Nina Yang Bongiovi, Susie Nam, Michelle Tang, Christina Chou, Sheri Bryant, and Tim Chang Now, with a full time team, Gold House has built the leading cultural ecosystem focused on “equitable excellence”: identifying the people, projects, and platforms that impact and reach the most communities while empowering them to foster expansive socioeconomic change. Alongside key leaders and allies, we unite, invest in, and champion Asian Pacific creators and companies through innovative programs and platforms that guarantee commercial viability for cultural imperatives. We work with artists and every major media company to reshape public narratives; partner with global companies and investors to redefine existing power structures; and unite our community in celebration and excellence to reimagine possibilities. Now, we begin our next phase, Gold Bridge, to better connect industries, multicultural communities, and continents. Thank you to everyone committed to building a tomorrow for all! 🔗: goldhouse.org/vanityfair 📷: Daniel Seung Lee

We were honored to be a partner of the NYC debut of the legendary Din Tai Fung with the Yang family, creating the largest restaurant in New York City and their first on the East Coast. With over 180 stores across 13 countries (and 16 locations in North America, to date), Din Tai Fung has built a beacon for cultural bridges. Each U.S. store serves more than 10,000 XiaoLongBaos (Soup Dumplings), contributing to making Asian cuisine ubiquitous in the U.S.. Further, in 2023: • The most-searched recipe on Google globally was gold (Bibimbap) • The top-ranked restaurant on Yelp was gold (Broken Mouth, a Hawaiian-Korean cafe; and 3/5 of the top 5 ranked were Pasifika-owned or inspired) As part of the celebration, we were honored to receive a $50K gift alongside our friends at @ApexforYouth which will go towards our NYC-focused founder efforts including an expansion of our market-leading accelerator whose alumni have raised $2 billion in follow-on capital. While the Asian Pacific diaspora is the least likely to be promoted to management (Harvard Business Review), we believe that building our own companies–our own houses–is the fastest and densest way to reshape power and provide inclusive economic opportunities for all. Thank you to Albert and Aaron Yang for your leadership and generosity; and a hearty thank you to Jessica Chao for your partnership and friendship. We’re looking to seeing all of you at the best dumpling house! Be sure to reserve your spot on Yelp!

On July 30, 2004, "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle", starring icons Kal Penn and John Cho, premiered on the big screen! 🍔 The stoner comedy, following two friends on a quest to satisfy the munchies, was an incredible leap forward for Asian representation, defying the model minority stereotype with a story crafted for two talented Asian leads. Today, we celebrate 20 years of the cult classic, thanking the cast and crew for making this film a reality. 🍃
