Bismarck Lepe is a serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur and the Co-Founder and CEO of MiSalud Health, a bilingual AI-powered telehealth platform serving Latino and blue-collar workers across the U.S. and Mexico. The son of Mexican immigrant farmworkers, he spent early childhood following seasonal harvests before attending Stanford and building a $1B+ career at Google, Ooyala (sold to Telstra for $400M+), and Wizeline. At MiSalud, he applies his nearshore technology playbook to a deeply personal mission: making quality healthcare accessible to the communities that shaped him.
Sean Knapp is the founder and CEO of Ascend.io, an AI-native data engineering platform that unifies ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and observability into a single product. A Stanford-trained computer scientist, he previously built iGoogle at Google and co-founded Ooyala — a video platform that raised $120M and sold for $400M+. At Ascend, he is building what he calls 'Agentic Data Engineering,' where AI agents handle the operational burden that buries data teams, freeing engineers for strategic work.
Belsasar 'Bel' Lepe is co-founder and CEO of Cerby, the identity automation platform built to secure the applications that traditional identity tools ignore - the sprawling layer of disconnected, nonstandard, and unmanageable apps that enterprises actually run on. A first-generation Mexican-American and Stanford Computer Science graduate, Lepe started at Google at 18, then co-founded Ooyala - a video technology company that achieved two exits totaling over $440M - before turning his attention to the gaping hole in enterprise identity security. Cerby raised $54M in Series B funding in 2025, counts L'Oréal, Fox, and Allstate among its customers, and has grown ARR 10x in under two years.
