Sahil Agarwal
Sahil Agarwal is the co-founder and CEO of Enkrypt AI, a Boston-based startup building a security and compliance control layer for enterprise generative AI. An applied mathematician with a PhD from Yale who once modeled the chaotic motion of Arctic sea ice, he now leads a team that red-teams large language models to find where they break - work that made headlines when Enkrypt published research showing DeepSeek-R1 was 11x more likely to generate harmful content than its rivals. He met co-founder Prashanth Harshangi during their PhD years at Yale, and together they raised a $2.35M seed round to make AI safe enough for Fortune 500 deployment.
Vinay Goel
Vinay Goel is the CEO and co-founder of Wald.ai, a Palo Alto startup building contextual data-loss protection for the age of generative AI. After more than 30 years in product and technology - a decade at Google leading Maps and Local, then top product roles at JLL, Kiavi, Check Point and Webroot - he co-founded Wald.ai in 2024 to solve the 'shadow AI' problem: employees feeding sensitive company data into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Wald.ai redacts sensitive data inline, lets the AI answer, then restores the original context before the user sees it. He raised a $4M seed round in December 2024 and sits on the Forbes Technology Council.
