Nate Owen is the founder and CEO of Ampion, a Boston-based Public Benefit Corporation that acquires and manages community solar subscribers across the country. He started Ampion in 2014 after two decades running Energy Services Group, the back-office software company he founded in 1996 to serve the newly deregulated electric and gas markets. Under Owen, Ampion has grown to roughly 120 employees, manages about 1.5 GW of community solar capacity, and says it has saved subscribers more than $42 million on their electricity bills.
Paul Paget is the CEO of Black Kite, a Boston-based third-party cyber risk platform he joined in 2019 after a career running cybersecurity companies including PwnieExpress, Savant Protection, and Core Security Technologies. A Bowdoin history major turned career security operator, he has built and sold a string of security businesses and now leads Black Kite in the security ratings market.
Pete DeJoy is the co-founder and interim CEO of Astronomer, the New York-based data orchestration company built on Apache Airflow. A Bowdoin-trained chemist who spent eight years scaling Astronomer's product from an early commercial offering to a platform trusted by enterprises, he stepped into the CEO seat in July 2025 after a viral concert-video scandal took out his predecessor.

Charlie Warren is a startup founder-turned-investor who built Convex, a commercial services software platform, from a garage bootstrapping sprint through $60M in venture funding and a YC Top Companies nod, before selling to ServiceTitan in 2024. Today he serves as a Visiting Partner at Y Combinator, bringing hard-won founder experience to the next wave of vertical SaaS builders. His unusual arc - Goldman Sachs to energy policy to enterprise software - gives him a perspective on markets that most investors simply don't have.
