Christina Qi is the CEO of Databento, an on-demand market-data platform for quants and asset managers, and a founding partner of Domeyard LP, one of the longest-running high-frequency trading hedge funds in the world. She started Domeyard from an MIT dorm room with $1,000 in savings, grew it to trade billions of dollars a day, then wound it down and built Databento to fix the broken market-data infrastructure that had frustrated her for a decade. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, MIT trustee, and financial-literacy advocate, Qi turned a rough start into a career spent lowering the barriers to Wall Street for everyone else.
Jonathan Wang is the co-founder and CEO of Watershed (Watershed Informatics / Watershed Bio), a Cambridge-based biocomputing platform that lets biologists run complex multi-omics analyses without writing code. An MIT computer scientist who once built a high-frequency trading hedge fund out of his dorm room, Wang co-founded Domeyard before pivoting to biology in 2019, applying the speed-obsessed engineering culture of quant finance to the sprawling data problem of modern drug discovery. Watershed raised a $14.5M Series A led by Canvas Ventures in 2023 and aims to become the dominant biocomputing platform for the world's scientists.
