Sohaib Shaikh
Sohaib Shaikh is the CEO of Virtue AI, a San Francisco security startup building the trust layer for enterprise AI and agentic systems. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer, he spent more than eight years at C3 AI as Group Vice President of Sales before joining Virtue AI as Head of Sales in April 2026 and being named chief executive that June, after the company posted 600% year-over-year growth on the back of a $30 million seed and Series A round.
Sahil Agarwal
Sahil Agarwal is the co-founder and CEO of Enkrypt AI, a Boston-based startup building a security and compliance control layer for enterprise generative AI. An applied mathematician with a PhD from Yale who once modeled the chaotic motion of Arctic sea ice, he now leads a team that red-teams large language models to find where they break - work that made headlines when Enkrypt published research showing DeepSeek-R1 was 11x more likely to generate harmful content than its rivals. He met co-founder Prashanth Harshangi during their PhD years at Yale, and together they raised a $2.35M seed round to make AI safe enough for Fortune 500 deployment.
