Conor Twomey is the co-founder and CEO of AI One, a New York-based enterprise AI startup he launched in 2024 with Fergus Keenan to close the 'context gap' that stalls corporate AI projects. An Irish national with a background in computational finance, he spent seven years at data-analytics company KX, rising to Head of AI Strategy and Managing Director for North America before leaving to build software that plugs AI into systems like Salesforce and Workday without costly data migrations. AI One raised $11 million, including a $7 million Series A led by Vestigo Ventures.
Charles Packer is the co-founder and CEO of Letta, the San Francisco startup building the memory layer for AI agents. He is the original author of MemGPT, the viral research project that reframed large language models as operating systems that manage their own memory. A UC Berkeley computer science PhD out of the BAIR and Sky Computing labs, Packer walked away from offers at OpenAI and Google DeepMind to build stateful agents that remember, learn, and improve after deployment - the layer he argues sits above the base models and separates a real agent from a chatbot with a nice interface.
