Milin Desai is the CEO of Sentry, the developer-first error monitoring and application performance platform trusted by over 4 million developers and 100,000+ organizations. A computer engineer by training with a master's from USC, Desai spent nearly a decade at VMware scaling the NSX network virtualization product line into a billion-dollar business before joining Sentry in January 2020. Under his leadership, Sentry raised a $90 million Series E in 2022 (total funding $219.75M), achieved unicorn status at a $3B+ valuation, surpassed $100M ARR, and grew to process 790+ billion events per month - all while staying true to its open-source, developer-first ethos and charging one-third of what competitors ask.
Martin Casado is a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz leading the firm's infrastructure practice. A Spanish-born computer scientist and entrepreneur, he pioneered software-defined networking (SDN) by inventing the OpenFlow protocol during his Stanford PhD. He co-founded Nicira Networks, which VMware acquired for $1.26 billion in 2012, where he then scaled the networking and security business to $600 million in annual revenue. An ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award winner, Casado now invests in cutting-edge infrastructure and AI companies, serving on boards of over a dozen startups while shaping the future of enterprise technology and AI regulation policy.
