Peter Yorke
Peter Yorke is the CEO and co-founder of Voyomotive, a San Francisco connected-car company whose VOYO device turns an ordinary car's OBD-II port into a smartphone-controlled second brain. A native Californian who has worn the hats of scientist, venture capitalist, and serial entrepreneur, Yorke built a platform that locks doors by proximity, reads manufacturer fault codes, logs trips, and crowdsources road-hazard alerts. VOYO swept the 2015 SEMA show awards and exhibited as one of the most advanced after-market connected-car systems at CES 2016.
Avneesh Agrawal
Avneesh Agrawal is the co-founder and CEO of Netradyne, the San Diego AI company that turns dashcams into a real-time safety coach for commercial drivers. After more than a decade at Qualcomm, where he led 4G LTE research, ran corporate R&D, and served as president of Qualcomm India and South Asia, he left in 2015 to chase a convergence he saw coming: cheap camera sensors, edge computing, and deep learning arriving at the same moment. Netradyne's Driver-i platform now analyzes billions of miles of driving and reduces accidents by 30 to 50 percent. In January 2025, a $90 million Series D led by Point72 pushed the company past a $1 billion valuation. A Stanford PhD with more than 150 US patents, Agrawal builds at the intersection of research and the real world.
Vidit Jain
Vidit Jain is the co-founder of LocoNav, a full-stack AI-powered fleet management platform serving 500,000+ vehicle owners across 50+ countries. A mechanical-engineer-turned-software-builder, he pivoted from early-stage stints at ClearTax and Bizzy to co-found LocoNav in 2016 alongside Shridhar Gupta. The company has raised $47 million (including a $37M Series B in 2021) and tracks over 5 million vehicles globally, positioning itself as the emerging-market answer to Samsara. Vidit also angel-invests in startups and serves on one board.
