Zouhair Belkoura
Zouhair Belkoura is the founder and CEO of Keepsafe, a San Francisco company that builds a family of consumer privacy apps used by tens of millions of people worldwide. A former electrical engineering PhD who researched mobile video coding, he has built Keepsafe around the idea that privacy is a form of freedom and that ordinary people deserve simple tools to control their personal photos, messages, and browsing. He is a frequent writer and speaker on the difference between abstract data privacy and the content privacy that actually matters to people's daily lives.
SolCyber
SolCyber is a Dallas-based managed security services provider that packages the tools, threat detection, and human-led response mid-market and enterprise companies need into a single subscription program. Founded in 2021 and incubated by ForgePoint Capital, it positions itself as a "modern MSSP" - consolidating endpoint, email, identity, SOC/SIEM, security awareness training, mobile protection, and even cyber insurance under one vendor and one contract, so customers don't have to assemble and manage a stack of point products themselves.
Lookout
Lookout is a San Francisco-founded cybersecurity company focused on mobile endpoint security and threat intelligence for enterprises and government agencies. Built on one of the world's largest mobile security datasets - hundreds of millions of devices and apps - Lookout detects phishing, smishing, malicious apps, device compromise and social-engineering attacks that target the smartphones people use for work. After divesting its consumer business in 2023 and its cloud SSE business to Fortra in 2025, Lookout is now a pure-play enterprise mobile security vendor led by CEO and Chairman Jim Dolce.
Danny Rogers
Danny Rogers is a computational physicist turned serial cybersecurity founder who runs iVerify, a New York mobile threat-detection company that hunts spyware like Pegasus on the phones of executives, journalists, and activists. Before iVerify he built Terbium Labs, a dark-web intelligence startup in Baltimore, and co-founded the Global Disinformation Index, a nonprofit built to defund online disinformation. He teaches narrative warfare at NYU and became iVerify's CEO in 2023 after first joining as a paying customer.
Omnissa
Omnissa is an independent digital work platform company spun out of VMware's End-User Computing business after KKR's roughly $4 billion acquisition closed on July 1, 2024. Led by CEO Shankar Iyer, it builds the autonomous workspace: a unified platform spanning Workspace ONE (unified endpoint management), Omnissa Horizon (virtual desktops and apps / DaaS), and Omnissa Intelligence (analytics and digital employee experience), increasingly stitched together with trusted, AI-driven automation. The company serves more than 26,000 customers worldwide, including a majority of the Fortune 500, with about $1.5 billion in annual recurring revenue and roughly 4,000 employees.
iVerify
iVerify is a New York-based mobile security company that brings endpoint detection and response (EDR) and threat hunting to smartphones. Spun out of security firm Trail of Bits in 2023, its privacy-respecting platform detects spyware like Pegasus and Predator, OS vulnerabilities, and zero-click exploits on iOS and Android. iVerify pairs malware signatures, behavioral heuristics, and machine learning with a five-minute on-device threat scan, serving consumers, security teams, and high-risk individuals such as executives, journalists, and government targets.
Incognia
Incognia is a location identity and fraud prevention company that uses device intelligence, location behavioral analytics, and AI to help platform businesses — from food delivery to financial services — detect fraud without compromising the user experience. By processing signals from GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth without capturing PII, Incognia identifies legitimate users from fraudsters across multiple devices with 99.999999% accuracy, a 0.0001% false-positive rate, and no friction for genuine users. Deployed on over 200 million smartphones and protecting nearly 1 billion devices, Incognia has become the go-to fraud layer for platforms like Grubhub, Delivery Hero, and Upwork.
Andre Ferraz
Andre Ferraz is the co-founder and CEO of Incognia, a Palo Alto-based privacy-first location identity company that uses passive behavioral signals - where your phone goes, how it moves, what Wi-Fi networks it trusts - to verify users without passwords or biometric friction. Before Incognia, Ferraz co-founded In Loco Media in 2011 at the Federal University of Pernambuco in Brazil, building it into a company that mapped 6 million indoor venues and captured 250 billion location data points monthly, before selling it to Brazilian retail giant Magazine Luiza in 2020. With Incognia, he pivoted that location intelligence from advertising into fraud prevention, raising $46.5M total (including a $31M Series B led by Bessemer Venture Partners in 2024), deploying technology on over 200 million smartphones, and pioneering what he calls zero-factor authentication - security that works without the user doing anything at all.
Jim Dolce
Jim Dolce is CEO and Chairman of Lookout, a cloud security company he has led since 2014. A four-time founder with deep roots in networking and enterprise security, Dolce built his career through a series of acquisitions - from Cascade Communications to Redstone Communications, Unisphere Networks (acquired by Juniper Networks for $500M), and Verivue (acquired by Akamai). Under his leadership, Lookout pivoted from a consumer mobile security app to a pure-play enterprise Security Service Edge platform, making the landmark CipherCloud acquisition in 2021 and divesting its consumer business in 2023 to sharpen focus on enterprise and government customers.
Jim Szafranski
Jim Szafranski is the CEO of Prezi, the visual communications platform used by over 100 million people worldwide and more than 100 Fortune 500 companies. A MIT computer scientist and Stanford MBA, he joined Prezi in 2015 as COO and rose to CEO in 2020, steering the company's pivot from presentation software to a full visual suite encompassing Prezi Present, Prezi Video, and Prezi Design. Before Prezi, he spent a decade at Fiberlink building MaaS360, a mobile enterprise cloud platform acquired by IBM in 2013. He is known for applying rigorous process frameworks — including OKRs and strategic foresight influenced by Intel's Andy Grove — to scale technology companies.
Tom Tovar
Tom Tovar is the co-creator and CEO of Appdome, the company that built the mobile industry's first no-code platform for automating mobile app security. A lawyer-turned-tech-executive who cut his teeth at NetScreen (acquired by Juniper for $5B), ran Nominum (acquired by Akamai), and chaired Badgeville before founding Appdome in 2016, Tovar has spent two decades making complex security invisible - his vision: a vending machine for mobile app defense that gives developers 150+ security protections with zero code. Under his leadership, Appdome now protects nearly a billion mobile users worldwide.
