Docker, Inc. builds the toolchain that put containers into the daily vocabulary of software development. From Docker Desktop to Docker Hub to Docker Scout, the company helps roughly 20 million developers package, share, and run applications anywhere - and is now extending that same packaging logic to AI models and agents.
Don Johnson is the CEO of Docker, Inc., the company behind the world's most widely used container platform. Appointed in February 2025, he brings decades of hyperscale cloud infrastructure experience from founding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and serving as a founding technical leader at Amazon Web Services. A builder at heart who spent years constructing the plumbing of the modern cloud, Johnson now leads Docker's mission to make software development frictionless, secure, and AI-ready for the world's 20 million developers.
Sandeep Bhadra is a General Partner at Vertex Ventures US, a $150M early-stage fund focused on B2B software, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools. A Ph.D. engineer turned venture capitalist, he joined Vertex in 2017 as a founding team member after stints at Menlo Ventures and Cisco's corporate development. He's known for concentrated, high-conviction bets - typically 1-2 new investments per year - in companies like Hasura, Docker, Tulip Interfaces, and Gitpod. His background spans semiconductor engineering at Texas Instruments, $425M in cloud M&A at Cisco, and founding-team work that contributed to the creation of Barefoot Networks (later acquired by Intel). He grew up in India, where watching mobile telephony disrupt landline bureaucracy first showed him how software could leapfrog legacy systems.
Jon Chu is a Partner at Khosla Ventures where he invests at the intersection of machine learning and enterprise infrastructure. A Carnegie Mellon computer science graduate, he has lived on both sides of the table - as a founder (sold his company to Docker), a principal engineer at Palantir during its hyper-growth phase, a product and engineering leader at Opendoor and Facebook/Meta, and now as one of Silicon Valley's most active early-stage AI/ML investors. In 2024, Business Insider named him one of 45 rising stars of the VC industry.
Jerry Chen is a General Partner at Greylock, one of Silicon Valley's most storied venture capital firms, where he has invested since 2013. A former VMware executive who scaled the company from 250 to 15,000+ employees, Jerry coined both the term 'VDI' (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and the widely-adopted 'Systems of Intelligence' framework — a model explaining how AI and proprietary data create durable competitive moats in enterprise software. He led Greylock's early bet on Docker, sits on the board of Bluesky, and backed foundational AI tools like LlamaIndex. Defined by intellectual rigor, deep operator empathy, and a habit of asking one more question when everyone else has already stopped.
