Dhruv Amin is the co-founder and co-CEO of Anything (formerly Create), a San Francisco AI app-building platform that turns plain English into working software, complete with databases, payments, and App Store submission. A Stanford computer scientist and former early YouTube product manager, he and co-founder Marcus Lowe shut down a profitable $2M-a-year freelance-developer marketplace in 2023 because they believed AI would make it obsolete, then rebuilt from scratch. The bet paid off: Anything hit a $2M annual revenue run rate within two weeks of its 2025 relaunch and raised an $11M Series A at a $100M valuation.
Daniel First is the founder and CEO of Axion (Axion Ray), an AI-powered quality intelligence platform that helps manufacturers detect, investigate, and resolve product issues before they reach customers. After watching enterprise AI pilots stall at analysis rather than action during his years at McKinsey and QuantumBlack, he built Axion to put AI directly in the hands of field engineers across aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and consumer goods. The New York company has raised $25M total, including a $17.5M Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners with RTX Ventures, and counts Boeing, Cummins, Baxter, DENSO, Newell, and Pratt & Whitney among its customers.
Harry Rein is the co-founder and CEO of ShopMy, the New York creator-commerce platform that turns taste into a paycheck. Trained as an AI engineer at MIT, he built ShopMy from a side project into a company valued at $1.5 billion, connecting roughly 200,000 creators with more than 1,200 brands and processing over $1 billion in annual transactions. He insists recommendations stay authentic, runs the company at profitability, and frames the next phase as a shift from the creator economy to the curator economy.
Anand Prajapati is Co-Founder and CTO of Leena AI, an enterprise agentic AI platform that deploys AI colleagues to automate back-office work across HR, IT, Finance, and Procurement. A graduate of IIT Delhi, Anand built Leena AI's technology from scratch after two earlier startup pivots, guiding the company through Y Combinator's Summer 2018 batch to a $30M Series B led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Today Leena AI's platform serves 400+ enterprise customers across 90+ countries - including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and Sony - resolving millions of employee queries autonomously across 100+ languages.

Kanav Hasija is Co-Founder and CEO of MeltPlan, an AI-native preconstruction planning platform backed by Bessemer Venture Partners. A serial entrepreneur who co-built Innovaccer into a $3.2B healthcare data unicorn, he now applies the same data-platform playbook to construction — where fragmented planning and late-stage surprises cost billions annually. MeltPlan's tools (Melt Code, Melt Takeoff) bring AI-powered code compliance and quantity estimation to architects, contractors, and owners before the first shovel breaks ground.
Jin Chang is the CEO and Co-Founder of Fieldguide, the leading AI platform for audit and advisory firms. A former EY practitioner and CPA, he tried to leave accounting multiple times before founding Fieldguide in 2020, channeling firsthand frustration with clunky tools into a $700M-valued company now serving half of the top 100 U.S. CPA firms. With $125M raised - including a $75M Series C from Goldman Sachs in February 2026 - Chang is rewriting how accountants work at a moment when the profession faces an existential talent crisis.
