Paul Powers
Paul Powers is the co-founder and CEO of Physna, the Ohio startup teaching computers to understand the physical world by turning 3D geometry into searchable 'Physical DNA.' A homeschooled kid who entered Harvard at 16 and later passed the German bar exam in a foreign language, he turned an intellectual-property obsession into a geometric-search company backed by Sequoia, Tiger Global, and Drive Capital. Physna also runs Thangs, a community platform of tens of millions of 3D models that he describes as the GitHub for hardware. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Powers is one of the most prominent founders building deep-tech outside Silicon Valley.
Raphael Townshend
Raphael Townshend is the founder and CEO of Atomic AI, a South San Francisco biotech fusing machine learning with structural biology to make RNA a druggable target. A Stanford AI Lab PhD who trained 18 known RNA structures into a model that beat far larger labs, he turned a Science cover paper into a company that has raised $42M to build ATOM-1, a foundation model for RNA structure. Forbes 30 Under 30, ex-DeepMind AlphaFold, ex-Google.
