Mem is an AI-native notes app that doubles as a thought partner. Founded by Kevin Moody and Dennis Xu, the company is rebuilding personal knowledge management around a simple bet: you should never have to organize information again. Backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund and Andreessen Horowitz, Mem captures voice, web, and email inputs and resurfaces them at exactly the right moment.
Kevin Moody is the co-founder and CEO of Mem, an AI-powered knowledge management platform backed by OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz. A Stanford Computer Science graduate who once worked at Google X on drone delivery, he spent five years quietly building toward a single obsession: making your past knowledge work as hard as your present focus. Mem has raised $34.7M and is redefining how individuals and teams capture, connect, and retrieve information at the speed of thought.
Prayag Narula is the Co-Founder and CEO of Marvin (HeyMarvin), an AI-native customer insights platform that centralizes, analyzes, and shares qualitative research data for product and UX teams. A researcher-turned-entrepreneur, he previously co-founded LeadGenius (Y Combinator W2011), which raised over $30 million and grew to hundreds of employees before he stepped down to return to his roots in user-centric design. With a graduate research background spanning UC Berkeley's School of Information and Helsinki's Ubiquitous Interaction Group, Narula built Marvin alongside his brother Chirag Narula in 2020 — this time with AI baked in from the ground up. The platform now serves 4,000+ teams and 13,000+ users, including 10 Fortune 100 companies.

His credit-card-sized Plaud Note and wearable NotePin devices, which transcribe, summarize, and analyze conversations in 112 languages, have shipped to over 1.5 million users in 170+ countries. Based in San Francisco with roots in Wuhan, China, Xu represents a new breed of transpacific founder betting that the next great hardware platform fits in your pocket - or around your neck.
