Jon Beck is the Founder and CEO of Ursus, Inc., a San Francisco-based staffing firm he built from scratch in 2015 into one of the fastest-growing in the U.S., recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts for four consecutive years. A UC Berkeley psychology graduate and three-time rugby All-American, Beck brings 25+ years of technology executive experience across startups and global enterprises — including a stint at Cisco-acquired Embrane — to a company built around technical and creative talent for the digital transformation era.
Anthony Mironov is the co-founder and CEO of Wingspan, a New York fintech building payroll and benefits infrastructure for the 1099 economy.

The company has processed more than $3 billion in contractor payments and raised $54 million, betting that as one in three American workers go independent, the back office for that work needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
