Baris Karadogan
Baris Karadogan is the co-founder and CEO of Jingle, a Menlo Park startup that turns local stores and services into roving mobile vendors that drive through neighborhoods and ping nearby shoppers through an app. An Istanbul-raised, Stanford-trained engineer who spent a decade as a venture capitalist at firms including ComVentures, Fuse Capital and U.S. Venture Partners, he traded the investor's chair for the founder's seat to attack the high fees and long waits of conventional delivery. Jingle raised a $2.9 million seed round in 2023 with Bessemer Venture Partners. Off the clock he is a serious birdwatcher who spent nine years on the board of California Audubon.
Amit Sharma
Amit Sharma founded Narvar in 2013 to fix the most overlooked moment in e-commerce: the anxious gap between clicking 'buy' and the package arriving at the door. Drawing on years spent optimizing supply chains at Williams-Sonoma, Walmart, and Apple, he built a post-purchase experience platform from a bootstrapped garage operation into a market leader serving 650+ retailers - including Sephora, Home Depot, LVMH, and Patagonia - before stepping back from the CEO role in October 2024 to an advisory position.
