Jason Chicola
Jason Chicola is the founder and CEO of Rev, the Austin-based speech-to-text company that pairs 50,000 freelance transcriptionists with best-in-class AI to turn spoken words into searchable text. An MIT-trained engineer who became the third employee at oDesk (now Upwork), he built Rev on a simple bet: people will pay for curated quality, and people everywhere want to work from home. Today Rev serves over 100,000 clients including 60% of the Fortune 500, and Chicola is steering the company toward AI tools for the legal system, where accuracy is not optional.
Lawrence Chen
Lawrence Chen (Chen Haoliang) is the founder and CEO of SpeakIn Technologies, a Shenzhen-based voiceprint recognition company he started in 2015. An MIT dropout who previously worked on Google Glass's human-machine interaction program, Chen built SpeakIn to verify identities through voice rather than passwords, claiming 99.5% accuracy and selling into Chinese banks and public security bureaus. He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2018.
