Steve Albarran is the co-founder and CEO of Confident Cannabis (now Confident LIMS), the laboratory information management software that quietly runs testing for more than 60% of the legal cannabis industry in the United States. A Mexico City native from a family of business owners, he traded a New York finance career - M&A banking at Lehman Brothers and Sawaya Partners, then his own growth-equity firm Left Lane Capital - for Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he met his co-founding team. Motivated partly by a wish to move money away from Mexican cartels and toward legal, ethical operators, he built the data backbone that lets labs, growers and buyers trust what is in a cannabis product. He is a member of the National Cannabis Laboratory Council.
Michael Dorfman is the CEO of the Pro Padel League, the top-flight professional padel circuit in North America, and the founder of the New York Atlantics franchise. A lifelong Knicks and Rangers fan who picked up padel at Brooklyn's Padel Haus during the pandemic, he left the tech insurance company he co-founded (Koffie Financial) to run the league full-time. In March 2026 he closed a $15 million Series A led by Charlotte Hornets co-owner Rick Schnall, valuing PPL at roughly ten times its seed round from a year earlier.
Pan Chaudhury is the co-founder and CEO of Perry Health, a New York digital-health company building a remote, continuous-care model for seniors managing chronic conditions. A Brown economics grad who started his career writing code at point-of-sale startup ShopKeep, he turned a single idea - that technology could keep a care team in a patient's corner every day instead of once a quarter - into a company that raised a $23.5M Series A and now operates in more than 20 U.S. markets.
Samarth Sindhi is the founder and CEO of Good Health Company (GHC), the Hyderabad-based direct-to-consumer wellness platform behind Mars by GHC (for men) and Saturn by GHC (for women). A Brown University mechanical engineer and Y Combinator S19 alum, he first built Digi-Prex, a subscription pharmacy for chronic care, before launching GHC in January 2021 to tackle topics men rarely talk about out loud. GHC has raised about $15.2 million, including a $10 million Series A led by Left Lane Capital in October 2022, and Sindhi has been named to Forbes 30 Under 30.
Zach Rosen is the co-founder and CEO of Brellium, a New York healthcare startup whose AI reads every patient chart a provider group produces, checking it against more than a thousand clinical and payor standards before a claim ever goes out. He started the company after a personal misdiagnosis cost him two years that, he learned, a few unchecked boxes in a chart could have prevented. A Berkeley Haas grad who passed through Paycom engineering, Moelis investment banking, and a first healthcare venture called Sapien, Rosen raised a $16.7M Series A in April 2025 from First Round Capital and Left Lane Capital and counts Grow Therapy, Talkiatry, Headspace, and Rula among Brellium's customers.
