Barr Moses is the co-founder and CEO of Monte Carlo, the company that created the data observability category and built one of the first end-to-end platforms for catching what she named 'data downtime' - the stretches when data is wrong, missing, or simply not trustworthy. A Stanford-trained mathematician and former Israeli Air Force intelligence data unit commander, she went from Bain consulting and a VP role at Gainsight to building a data reliability company valued at $1.6 billion. She co-authored O'Reilly's 'Data Quality Fundamentals' and is one of the most cited voices on why enterprises should treat broken data like broken software.
Jonathan Regev is the co-founder and CEO of The Farmer's Dog, the fresh, human-grade dog food company he started in 2015 with Brett Podolsky after the two met on a Birthright trip to Israel. A former Bain consultant and Rocket Internet entrepreneur-in-residence, Regev spent over a year planning the business before spending a dollar on infrastructure, building a subscription supply chain that ships pre-portioned, vet-formulated meals direct to dogs' doors. Under his leadership the company crossed more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, turned profitable, and won USA Today's Ad Meter with its 2023 Super Bowl debut.

Brad Olson runs Sollis Health, the members-only concierge urgent and emergency care company that treats your time as the real luxury. He came to medicine sideways - from Bain consulting to Starwood's loyalty empire to Peloton's first 100 employees - and now applies the playbook of emotional loyalty and hospitality to a 15,000-member, 11-clinic operation where the average wait to see an ER-boarded doctor is zero to fifteen minutes. His pitch is blunt: if any consumer business ran like a hospital ER, it would be out of business the next day.

A former operator who scaled Stitch Fix's growth org from zero to 20 people and helped take the company through IPO, Duboe brings rare depth to the investor seat - having managed nine-figure marketing budgets and built scrappy product-led growth teams. He focuses on commerce, marketplaces, and vertical software, with an investment philosophy rooted in learning velocity and disciplined, sustainable growth over vanity metrics.
Zach Perret is the co-founder and CEO of Plaid, the financial infrastructure company that quietly powers the apps half of America uses every day. He and co-founder William Hockey built Plaid from a hackathon project in 2013 into a $8B+ company connecting over 500 million bank accounts to thousands of financial apps - including Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. After famously walking away from a $5.3B Visa acquisition in 2021 (called a 'blessing in disguise'), Perret rebuilt Plaid as an independent company, reaching $546M ARR and profitability before raising a $575M Series E in 2025. A symphony conductor's son from North Carolina, he runs Plaid like he leads: with timing, rhythm, and an eye on what everyone else is missing.
