Georgios Pipelidis is the co-founder and CEO of Ariadne, a Munich-born company that turns the anonymous radio signals leaking from smartphones into privacy-first analytics about how people move through airports, stores and stations - no cameras, no apps, no network connection required. A computer scientist with a PhD in artificial intelligence from the Technical University of Munich, he turned an academic project on indoor positioning - one that beat Google, IBM, Samsung, Cisco and Sony at a 2018 global competition - into a company operating sensors in hundreds of locations worldwide, backed by a $7M Series A.
Andrew Farah is the CEO and co-founder of Density, a San Francisco-based company that builds anonymous, privacy-first sensors to measure how physical spaces are actually used. What started in 2014 as a fix for a coffee shop line problem in upstate New York has grown into a $1B+ enterprise used by Fortune 500 companies across 1.25 billion square feet globally. Farah has raised over $217 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and Altimeter Capital, and has built Density into what he calls 'Google Analytics for the built world.'
