Casandra Espinoza Stewart is the CEO and co-founder of Homeroom, a San Francisco software platform that brings the messy, paper-bound world of after-school enrichment, summer camps and extended care online. A Stanford public-policy grad and former Greylock Partners analyst, she traded venture capital for venture building, teaming up with former teacher Christina Walker to give PTAs, parents and class vendors one place to schedule, book and get paid. Homeroom hit a $1M GMV run rate in month one and raised $3.5M in seed funding led by Forerunner Ventures in 2019.
Perforce Software builds the version control, DevOps, and quality tools that large engineering teams lean on when their codebases and binary assets grow too big for ordinary tools. Its flagship - Helix Core, rebranded P4 in 2025 - moves enormous game studios, semiconductor designers, automakers, and defense programs along, while a portfolio gathered through acquisitions (Puppet, Perfecto, Delphix, Klocwork, Gliffy and more) extends from source control into static analysis, test automation, infrastructure automation, and test data management. Founded in 1995 and now backed by Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners, Perforce powers more than half of the Global 500.
