Tony Holdstock-Brown is the co-founder and CEO of Inngest, a San Francisco developer platform that gives engineers a durable, observable execution layer for background jobs, workflows, and AI agents. A self-described tinkerer since age 10 and former Docker engineer, he started Inngest in 2021 with CTO Dan Farrelly after the two met in a New York co-working space. The company has raised roughly $31.6M, including a $21M Series A led by Altimeter in 2025, on the thesis that in an AI era the real moat is how fast a team can iterate.

Cloudsmith is a Belfast-founded, cloud-native artifact management platform that gives engineering teams a single place to store, secure, and distribute software packages and containers across 30+ formats. It acts as a private, fully managed registry with built-in supply chain controls - vulnerability and malware scanning, policy enforcement, quarantine, and global distribution - increasingly positioned around governing the flood of code produced by AI coding agents.
Code Ocean is a New York-based B2B SaaS platform that makes computational research reproducible, traceable and collaborative. Its flagship Compute Capsule bundles code, data and the exact software environment together so an analysis runs identically today or years from now. Used by pharma, biotech and leading research institutes, and integrated with journals like Nature and IEEE, Code Ocean is building a trusted virtual lab where both scientists and AI agents can run real analyses with full version control, lineage and compliance.
Replicated is a commercial software distribution platform that helps independent software vendors ship and manage self-hosted, Kubernetes-based applications inside their customers' own environments - on-prem, air-gapped, VPC, VM, bare metal, or edge. Founded in 2015 by Grant Miller and Marc Campbell, the company gives SaaS vendors the tooling to package, install, license, update, and support enterprise deployments they don't directly control, letting them close security-sensitive enterprise and government customers without building distribution infrastructure themselves.
CircleCI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that automates the build, test, and deployment of software. Founded in San Francisco in 2011, it runs tens of millions of workflows for engineering teams who want faster, more reliable pipelines without maintaining their own build infrastructure. It does not host code or track tickets - it focuses on being a fast, dependable runner of builds and, increasingly, on validating AI-generated code at scale.
Daytona builds programmatic, composable computers for AI agents. Its stateful sandboxes spin up in under 90 milliseconds, run untrusted AI-generated code in full isolation, and can be started, paused, or snapshotted on demand. Founded by Ivan Burazin and Vedran Jukic, the company pivoted from developer-environment management into agent-native infrastructure in 2025 and raised a $24M Series A led by FirstMark Capital in February 2026. Customers include LangChain, Writer, Turing, and SambaNova.
Traefik Labs builds the cloud-native networking layer that sits between your users and your services. Its flagship open-source Traefik Proxy - downloaded more than 3 billion times - auto-discovers containers and routes traffic without hand-written config, and its commercial Traefik Hub extends that into a unified 'Triple Gate' platform covering API, AI, and MCP traffic. Founded in France in 2016 and now headquartered in San Francisco, the company's stated goal is to make networking boring: reliable enough that developers stop thinking about it.
Simon Adar is the co-founder and CEO of Code Ocean, a New York-based platform that packages research code, data, and compute environments into reproducible 'compute capsules' so scientists can rerun each other's work without wrestling with dependencies. A hyperspectral imaging PhD from Tel Aviv University turned Cornell Tech Runway postdoc, he started the company after concluding that too much of his own research time went into trying, and failing, to rerun other people's code.
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.

Hamza Muhammad Khan is a Karachi-based DevOps and cloud engineer who climbed from supporting small-scale WordPress deployments to managing infrastructure at DigitalOcean as an Engineer II before moving into banking-sector DevOps at Bank Al Habib Limited. Educated at NED University (Master's in Computer Science, 2023) and the University of Karachi (Bachelor's in Computer Software Engineering, 2019), he specializes in Linux administration, Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platform operations - and moonlights as a blockchain tinkerer and machine-learning experimenter on GitHub.
