Bo Davis
Bo Davis is the co-founder and CEO of MarginEdge, an Arlington, Virginia restaurant management and bill-payment platform he launched in 2015 with fellow restaurateur Roy Phillips. Before software, Davis ran restaurants - he founded Wasabi, a group of conveyor-belt sushi spots in D.C. and Boston. Before restaurants, he sold an education software company, Prometheus, to Blackboard in 2002 and served in the Peace Corps in Macedonia. MarginEdge, which turns a shoebox of restaurant invoices into real-time cost data, has raised more than $120 million and serves thousands of restaurants across North America.
Joshua Stern
Joshua Stern is the CEO and co-founder of Telerivet, a mobile communications platform built for organizations that operate where bandwidth is thin, languages are many, and feature phones still matter. A Stanford computer science graduate who joined the Peace Corps instead of the Valley, he learned the texture of mobile networks on the island of Pemba, off Tanzania, then turned that field experience into software used by NGOs, governments, and enterprises across more than 50 countries.
Sedarius Perrotta
Sedarius Tekara Perrotta is the co-founder and CEO of Shelf, a New York-based knowledge management and AI data-quality platform. A former Peace Corps volunteer turned serial software entrepreneur, he has spent two decades applying machine learning and NLP to the unglamorous problem of finding the right answer fast - building knowledge systems for the World Bank, Harvard Business School, MIT and Stanford before turning that craft into a company that raised $52.5M in Series B funding led by Tiger Global and Insight Partners.
