Ibby Syed is the founder and CEO of Cotera, a New York-based Y Combinator (W22) startup building an agentic AI platform that lets enterprise teams spin up AI agents on top of their own data warehouses. Peloton's first data science hire and a Harvard applied math graduate, he co-founded Cotera with Tom Firth, survived a long stint stuck in the 'consulting trap,' and pivoted the company from a churn-analytics dashboard into a prompt-based AI agent builder now serving customers like Bilt, OpenSea, Skims and Coterie at roughly $1M ARR.
Brad Olson runs Sollis Health, the members-only concierge urgent and emergency care company that treats your time as the real luxury. He came to medicine sideways - from Bain consulting to Starwood's loyalty empire to Peloton's first 100 employees - and now applies the playbook of emotional loyalty and hospitality to a 15,000-member, 11-clinic operation where the average wait to see an ER-boarded doctor is zero to fifteen minutes. His pitch is blunt: if any consumer business ran like a hospital ER, it would be out of business the next day.
