Wylie Aronow, better known online as Gordon Goner, is the co-founder of Yuga Labs and the creative force behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, the NFT collection that became a $4 billion cultural phenomenon. A former MFA dropout who spent most of his twenties bedridden with chronic colitis, he co-created BAYC in 2021 with three friends after asking 'What the fuck is an NFT?' - and within months built one of the most influential brands in crypto history. After stepping back from Yuga Labs in early 2023 following a congestive heart failure diagnosis, he remains a board member and strategic advisor while focusing on recovery.
Guy Oseary is an Israeli-American music manager, venture capitalist, and entrepreneur who has guided Madonna's career since 1992 and co-founded Sound Ventures with Ashton Kutcher - a $1B+ VC firm with early bets on Airbnb, Uber, Spotify, and now OpenAI and Anthropic. Once the teenage chairman of Madonna's Maverick Records who signed Alanis Morissette, Oseary has quietly become one of entertainment's most consequential dealmakers - turning a free internship offer into three decades of industry-defining moves at the intersection of music, tech, and culture.
