Stewart Butterfield
Stewart Butterfield is a Canadian technology entrepreneur and angel investor who co-founded Flickr (2004) and Slack (2013) — two landmark products that emerged as accidental pivots from failed multiplayer games. A self-taught coder with a Cambridge philosophy degree, Butterfield sold Flickr to Yahoo for ~$25 million in 2005 and Slack to Salesforce for $27.7 billion in 2021. His 'We Don't Sell Saddles Here' memo became a canonical document in Silicon Valley product thinking. Since departing Slack in January 2023, he has been active as an angel investor with 32+ portfolio companies.
Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey (born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) is an American singer-songwriter whose haunted, cinematic sound redefined indie pop in the 2010s and continues to dominate streaming charts and TikTok culture into the 2020s. With nine studio albums, 11 Grammy nominations, and a philosophy degree from Fordham University, she has built one of the most distinctive and enduring catalogs in contemporary music - blending melancholic Americana, baroque orchestration, and hip-hop beats into something entirely her own.
