Conor Twomey
Conor Twomey is the co-founder and CEO of AI One, a New York-based enterprise AI startup he launched in 2024 with Fergus Keenan to close the 'context gap' that stalls corporate AI projects. An Irish national with a background in computational finance, he spent seven years at data-analytics company KX, rising to Head of AI Strategy and Managing Director for North America before leaving to build software that plugs AI into systems like Salesforce and Workday without costly data migrations. AI One raised $11 million, including a $7 million Series A led by Vestigo Ventures.
Maik Wehmeyer
Maik Taro Wehmeyer is the co-founder and CEO of Taktile, an AI decision platform that helps banks, insurers, and fintechs automate high-stakes risk decisions like credit underwriting, onboarding, fraud detection, and claims. A Harvard-trained statistician and former QuantCo, McKinsey, and Bosch alum, he started Taktile in 2020 with fellow Harvard classmate Maximilian Eber after they repeatedly rebuilt the same decision infrastructure for enterprise clients. In June 2026 the company raised a $110M Series C led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, bringing total funding to roughly $189M, and now serves more than 150 financial institutions from offices in New York, London, and Berlin.
Rabih Ramadi
Rabih Ramadi is the co-founder and CEO of Avantos, a New York fintech building an AI-native operating system for client onboarding and servicing inside banks, asset managers, and insurers. He spent a career on the inside of financial services - technology strategy at The Bank of New York, leading capital markets as a senior partner at KPMG, then helping build Unqork from the ground floor as a founding team member and chief revenue officer - before deciding the client-service layer of finance needed to be rebuilt around a knowledge graph and AI agents. In early 2026 Avantos raised a $25 million Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing total funding to $35 million.
