A Yale biotech grad who spent a decade building product at Microsoft, Meta and Twitter - leading News Feed and creator monetization for billions of users - she left Meta in 2023 with her sister Farah to build Nectar. The company exited stealth in 2025 and raised a $30M Series A led by Menlo Ventures' Anthropic-backed Anthology Fund in May 2026, powering more than 10 million conversations a week for brands like e.l.f.

Jordan Wallach
Jordan Wallach is the co-founder and CEO of Belfry, a New York-based vertical SaaS company building the operating system for physical security firms. A Stanford math-and-computing grad who passed through Microsoft and McKinsey, he bet his career on one of the least glamorous corners of the economy: the back office of America's 8,000 security-guard companies. In January 2025 Belfry raised a $12 million Series A led by Base10 Partners, taking total funding past $20 million, to consolidate scheduling, timekeeping, payroll and billing into a single platform for a roughly $50 billion industry.
