Siran Jiang is the CEO and cofounder of Moonlight, a San Francisco edtech startup that began as a gamified focus-and-productivity app and grew into an AI-powered personalized learning platform turning lessons into quests for kids. A daughter of generations of teachers, she traded a finance-and-entertainment resume that runs from Evercore and Warburg Pincus to MGM Studios and Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty for a mission built on attention. She holds a BA from Columbia and an MBA from Stanford GSB, and on the side has spent over a decade as a college admissions tutor.
Will Geiger is the cofounder and CEO of Scholarships360, a free platform that helps students find and win scholarships to pay for college. A first-generation college graduate himself, he spent nearly a decade inside the admissions machine - reading more than 10,000 applications as a Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Kenyon College, running its merit scholarship program, and counseling teenagers through the college maze at Hopkins School - before teaming up with his brother Brian to rebuild the broken scholarship search from scratch. Scholarships360 raised a $250,000 seed round in 2021 and now reaches students nationwide with vetted scholarships and personalized financial aid guidance.
David Tuttle is the cofounder and CEO of Rune Technologies, an Arlington-based defense software company building TyrOS, an edge-first, AI-enabled predictive logistics platform for military and contested environments. A former U.S. Army field artillery officer who deployed to Afghanistan, he later worked in aerospace and defense investment banking, led software teams within the JSOC enterprise at Fort Bragg, and ran command-and-control hardware work at Anduril before co-founding Rune in 2024 with Peter Goldsborough. He still serves in the National Guard. Rune raised a $24M Series A in July 2025 (over $30M total), and TyrOS has been deployed with U.S. Army and Marine Corps units.
