Kevin Yuann is the CEO of Peerspace, the leading marketplace for hourly venue rentals with over 45,000 unique spaces across seven countries. A veteran operator who spent a decade at NerdWallet - including as Chief Business Officer through a 15x revenue growth period and the company's 2021 IPO - Yuann brings a rare combination of consumer finance expertise and marketplace instincts to Peerspace. He holds a BA in Business Economics and Visual Arts from Brown University and an MBA from UCLA Anderson, and he took the helm at Peerspace in May 2024 as the platform crossed $500 million in total sales and one million bookings.
Eliza Haverstock is a financial journalist who has covered venture capital, private markets, student loans, and personal finance for outlets including Bloomberg, PitchBook, Forbes, and NerdWallet.

Jake Gibson co-founded NerdWallet with his middle-school friend Tim Chen, bootstrapped it for two years with zero revenue before Google's algorithm updates turned it into a traffic machine, then stepped away as it scaled toward its NASDAQ IPO. He spent years as an angel investor making early bets on companies like Chipper Cash (unicorn) and Albert, before co-founding Better Tomorrow Ventures (BTV) with Sheel Mohnot in 2019. BTV has grown from a $75M debut fund to $450M+ AUM across three funds, focused exclusively on pre-seed and seed-stage fintech globally. In 2023, Gibson and Mohnot launched The Mint, a fintech-specific accelerator in San Francisco. He has a Kierkegaard quote tattooed on his ribs and describes his post-NerdWallet years as his 'commitment issues' phase.
