Martin Schneider
Martin Schneider is the co-founder and CEO of RemNote, the all-in-one note-taking and spaced-repetition app he started coding as an MIT computer science student in 2017 to fix his own habit of forgetting everything he learned a semester later. What began as a private side project he used alone for three years grew into a learning platform with over a million users, backed by a $2.8M seed round from General Catalyst, 468 Capital, Soma Capital and Dorm Room Fund. He blends learning science, neuroscience and software to chase a single idea: that you should be able to learn something once and remember it forever.
Kevin Moody
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
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.
Nathan Xu
Nathan Xu (also known as Xu Gao) is the co-founder and CEO of Plaud AI, the company behind the world's best-selling AI voice recorder and notetaker. A serial entrepreneur who failed three times before hitting gold, Xu bootstrapped Plaud from a Kickstarter campaign in 2023 to $180M+ ARR by 2025 - without a single dollar of venture capital. 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.
