Tito Goldstein
Tito Goldstein is the co-founder and co-CEO of Teambridge, an AI-native, composable workforce management platform built for hourly, shift-based, and frontline teams. A former principal product designer at Uber, he and co-founder Arjun Vora interviewed thousands of drivers and realized the self-service and agency of the Uber app was missing for the roughly 60% of the global workforce still stuck on legacy tools. After two years of near-zero revenue, they rebuilt the product as configurable building blocks, and it outsold two years of prior work in its first month. Teambridge now serves 200+ enterprise customers and over 500,000 workers, has raised $35M+ including a $28M Series B, and Goldstein was named to Forbes' Top AI Founders to Watch in 2025.

Vijay Yalamanchili is the founder and CEO of Keka HR, a Hyderabad-born HR and payroll software company he built after growing frustrated with the clunky HR tools on the market. An engineer by training with earlier startups behind him, he bootstrapped Keka for roughly six years before raising a $57 million round from WestBridge Capital in 2022, reported at the time as India's largest Series A for a SaaS company. Keka now serves thousands of organizations and processes payroll for millions of employees each month, built around a focus on employee experience and disciplined, profit-led growth.

Trained at St. Gallen, Oxford, and Singularity University, she relocated from Berlin to New York in early 2023 to scale Leapsome's U.S. business, and was named Female Founder of the Year at the 2023 German Startup Awards.
