Zain Qayyum
Zain Qayyum is the co-founder and co-CEO of Medsender, a New York based healthcare automation company that uses AI to turn faxes, emails and phone calls into structured data that flows straight into patient records. A pre-med student who walked away from medicine after watching hospitals shuttle paper and CDs between systems, he built a platform now used by thousands of practices across all 50 states. In early 2025 Medsender raised a $5M Series A led by Ballast Point Ventures while already cash-positive, and the company debuted on the 2025 Inc. 5000 at #550.

Simba Jonga is the founder and CEO of Laborup, an AI-powered hiring platform often described as the LinkedIn of manufacturing. A University of Tennessee chemical engineer turned Stanford AI researcher, he built Laborup after watching skilled machinists, welders and technicians struggle to get hired despite working inside high-tech factories. The platform uses an autonomous AI voice agent to interview and vet workers, building profiles in minutes and matching them to high-paying industrial jobs. Laborup has raised $7.7M from investors including NVP, Torch Capital and angels Jeff Dean, Jeff Jordan and Evan Moore, grown a 25,000-strong East Tennessee worker network, and is expanding across the South and Midwest.
