Jean English and the Art of Selling the Invisible
For 20 years she has marketed the machinery nobody looks at - clouds, storage, firewalls, GPUs. Now she is building CoreWeave's first brand while the whole industry watches.
CoreWeave
The crypto-mining startup that became the picks-and-shovels supplier of the AI boom - renting Nvidia GPUs to the labs building the future, one megacluster at a time.
marimo
marimo is a San Francisco company building an open-source reactive Python notebook that replaces the error-prone JSON of Jupyter with pure Python files. Cells form a dataflow graph, so changing one variable automatically re-runs the cells that depend on it - notebooks are reproducible, git-friendly, deployable as apps, executable as scripts, and can even run entirely in the browser via WebAssembly. Founded in 2022 by Akshay Agrawal and Myles Scolnick, marimo raised a $5M seed in 2024 and joined CoreWeave in October 2025 while keeping the notebook free and permissively licensed.
Meg Whitman
Margaret Cushing 'Meg' Whitman is a billionaire business executive and diplomat who transformed eBay from a 30-person startup into an $8 billion e-commerce giant, later restructured Hewlett-Packard, and served as U.S. Ambassador to Kenya. With a net worth of $4 billion, she's navigated roles from Procter & Gamble brand manager to failed California gubernatorial candidate to diplomatic envoy, making her one of the most prominent women in American business and politics.
