Varun Sharma is the co-founder and CEO of Enterpret, an AI platform that turns messy, scattered customer feedback into a structured, queryable dataset for product teams. The 15th employee at Amplitude and a former enterprise customer success leader at Scale AI, he spotted a recurring blind spot: teams could track retention to the decimal but couldn't answer 'what are our top three customer pain points?' In 2020 he recruited his brother Arnav, then an Uber engineer, and the two built Enterpret in stealth for roughly 20 months before landing Notion as their first customer. The company raised a $20.8M Series A led by Canaan Partners in December 2024 and counts Canva, Notion, Loom, Strava, Linear, Perplexity and Descript among its users.
Jennifer Vancini is Co-Founder and General Partner at Mighty Capital, one of Silicon Valley's few woman-owned venture capital firms. With 20+ years in technology investments and M&A, she co-founded Mighty Capital in 2017 alongside SC Moatti, leveraging a network of 600,000+ product leaders to identify breakout B2B tech startups early. The firm's track record includes six IPOs in eight years - including early bets on Amplitude and Groq - and the April 2026 close of a $91M Fund III, triple its predecessor. Before VC, Vancini built a career spanning enterprise BD roles at Certicom, Symbian, Nokia, and Telefónica, culminating in a family investment office that returned 15x cash-on-cash before she co-founded Mighty Capital.
James Evans is a Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and the co-founder and former CEO of Command AI (YC S20), a user-assistance platform he built with Richard Freling and Vinay Ayyala and sold to Amplitude in October 2024 for north of $45 million. A Princeton CS graduate who detoured through private equity at Bain Capital before going all-in on startups, Evans scaled Command AI to 25 million end-users across hundreds of enterprise clients before the acquisition. Now advising the next wave of YC founders, he brings rare firsthand experience from both sides of the table - founder and investor.
