Vidhya Ramalingam
Vidhya Ramalingam is the founder and CEO of Moonshot, a company that builds technology to interrupt online violence, abuse, and radicalization before it spills into the real world. Trained as an anthropologist who did field research inside white nationalist movements, she now runs digital interventions across more than 25 countries, testifies before legislatures on both sides of the Atlantic, and advises tech platforms and governments on keeping people safe online. Her core conviction is unfashionably simple: people can change, and the same sense of belonging that pulls someone into a hate movement can be used to pull them back out.
Akili Hinson
Akili Hinson is the founder and CEO of Juno Medical, a technology-powered family medical practice he opened in Harlem in April 2020 with three patient rooms. A physician trained at Weill Cornell with an MBA from Columbia and a stint at McKinsey, he set out to build modern, family-centered primary care for what he calls 'the 99%' in neighborhoods that big health systems skip. Juno now runs clinics in Harlem, Brooklyn, East Atlanta, and Tulsa's Greenwood District, backed by a $12M Series A led by NEXT VENTURES and Serena Williams' Serena Ventures. He was named a 2024-2025 Obama Foundation USA Leader.
