Ryan Scott is an Operating Partner at Khosla Ventures, where he helps portfolio companies build durable, compounding growth. He made his name as Etsy's first-ever CMO and Head of International - scaling GMV from $3B to $14B, tripling active users, and expanding the brand to 220 countries while earning AdAge Brand of the Year in 2020. Before Etsy, he drove Grubhub Seamless from $100M to $6B in GMV and through its IPO. A Forbes Entrepreneurial CMO 50 honoree with seats on Google's Retail Advisory Council and Meta's Leadership Council, Scott brings two decades of consumer marketing, e-commerce, and business leadership to the deepest end of deep tech.
Bill Gurley is one of Silicon Valley's most consequential venture capitalists - a 6'9" Texan who played college basketball, led the analyst team on Amazon's IPO, and then bet Benchmark's money on a then-tiny black-car startup called Uber. As a General Partner at Benchmark from 1999, he built a track record that includes Uber, GrubHub, OpenTable, Zillow, Stitch Fix, and Nextdoor. He writes the 'Above the Crowd' blog, has appeared consistently on the Forbes Midas List, and in 2026 published 'Runnin' Down a Dream,' a career guide ten years in the making. After stepping back from active investing, he relocated to Austin, Texas - where his wife Amy always wanted to end up.
Casey Winters is a co-founder and CEO of SuperMe, an AI-native professional network backed by Greylock and Reid Hoffman. He is one of the most respected growth and product operators in Silicon Valley, having scaled Grubhub from 40,000 customers in 3 cities to 3 million users in 1,000+ cities, then led Pinterest's growth from 40 million to 400 million users, and later served as CPO of Eventbrite through a pandemic that wiped out the live events industry. A longtime Reforge program partner and prolific writer at caseyaccidental.com, Winters is known for first-principles thinking, blunt contrarianism, and a deep aversion to cargo-cult growth frameworks.
