Robert Mallernee
Robert Mallernee is the founder and CEO of Eton Solutions, the Research Triangle Park company behind AtlasFive, an integrated, cloud-native, AI-driven platform that runs the back office for more than 1,000 of the world's wealthiest families. A CFA with three-plus decades in ultra-high-net-worth wealth management, he built the software inside a real multi-family office (Eton Advisors) before spinning it out to sell to the rest of the industry. His pitch is blunt: spreadsheets are 'separate-sheets,' and the modern family office needs one system, not a hundred. In 2025 Eton closed a $58M Series C to push AtlasFive and EtonAI deeper into private equity, funds and global private banks.
Ross Mechanic
Ross Mechanic is the co-founder and CEO of Maybern, a New York fintech building the financial operating system for private funds. A software engineer by training, he watched fund accounting teams duplicate the same capital-call and waterfall math across roughly 100 spreadsheets at Cadre, and built Maybern to automate it. The company supports more than $80 billion in assets across 150+ fund vehicles and raised a $50 million Series B led by Battery Ventures in late 2025.
John Bowman
John Bowman is a co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Maybern, the New York fintech building fund management software for private markets. After more than two decades inside Goldman Sachs' Merchant Banking Division and a stint as CFO of Periphas Capital, he switched sides: instead of suffering through spreadsheet-driven fund accounting, he helped build the tool that replaces it. Maybern raised a $50M Series B led by Battery Ventures in November 2025.
