Anthony Mironov
Anthony Mironov is the co-founder and CEO of Wingspan, a New York fintech building payroll and benefits infrastructure for the 1099 economy. After a career in private equity and a stint as a freelancer who got tired of reverse-engineering his own paycheck, he started Wingspan in 2019 with Greg Franczyk. The company has processed more than $3 billion in contractor payments and raised $54 million, betting that as one in three American workers go independent, the back office for that work needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Raspberry AI
Raspberry AI is a New York-based generative AI platform built specifically for fashion creatives. It turns sketches, text prompts and 3D files into retail-ready imagery - mood boards, lifestyle and product photography, on-body try-ons and technical drawings - in minutes rather than weeks, replacing the slow, sample-heavy design workflow that has defined apparel for decades. Founded by Cheryl Liu and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, it counts Under Armour, MCM Worldwide, Li & Fung and Gruppo Teddy among its customers.
