Matt Lhoumeau
Matt Lhoumeau is the cofounder and CEO of Concord, a contract lifecycle management platform used by over 100,000 companies. A French entrepreneur who founded his first company at 17, wrote speeches for Nicolas Sarkozy's 2007 campaign, and once spent six months manually renegotiating 500 contracts for a French telecom giant, Lhoumeau built Concord to make contract management as ordinary as sending an email.
Shashank Bijapur

A Harvard Law LLM and former corporate attorney at White & Case in New York and Talwar Thakore & Associates in Mumbai, he started SpotDraft in 2017 after realizing that self-driving cars existed while lawyers still copy-pasted contract clauses. The company has raised roughly $90M in total funding, with a Series B led by Premji Invest, and employs around 330 people across India and the US.
Praful Saklani
Praful Saklani is the Founder and CEO of Pramata, an enterprise contract AI company he built from a bootstrapped startup in Minnesota into a 300-person global platform trusted by Fortune 500 companies. Inspired by watching attorneys manually search through contracts during a 2001 acquisition, he spent nearly two decades turning that frustration into a radically simple contract lifecycle management platform now powered by generative AI. Along the way he's been named to Comparably's Best CEOs for Diversity lists, grown Pramata to $49.7M in annual revenue, and attracted backing from Volition Capital.

Siddharth Sridharan
Siddharth Sridharan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Spendflo, an AI-native procurement platform that helps fast-growing and enterprise companies manage SaaS vendor relationships and cut software spend.

Backed by $15.9M in funding including a Series A, Spendflo has grown to 140 employees and operates out of San Francisco, promising guaranteed savings on software procurement through a hybrid AI-plus-expert-negotiation model.
