Itzik Malka
Itzik Malka is the co-founder and CEO of 4M Analytics, an Austin- and Israel-based company building what he calls the Google Maps of the underground. Drawing on a decade in an elite Israeli combat-engineering unit clearing buried explosives, he now leads a 130-person team that fuses AI, satellite imagery and public utility records to map the hidden network of pipes, cables and conduits beneath America before crews dig. 4M has raised roughly $119 million to date, including a Series C, and counts firms like AECOM and Stantec and multiple state DOTs among its customers.
Ege Akpinar
Ege Akpinar is the founder and CEO of Pointr, the indoor location company behind Deep Location, a platform that gives buildings the kind of accurate blue-dot navigation people take for granted outdoors. He started it in 2013 as a Harrods consulting side project, turned it into a venue-mapping engine used by Fortune 100 companies, hospitals, airports and CES, and built an AI mapping system that compresses days of manual map-drawing into minutes.
