Henry Ward is the co-founder and CEO of Carta, the San Francisco company that started life in 2012 as eShares with a single, stubborn idea: paper stock certificates should be digital. A decade later, his platform tracks ownership for tens of thousands of private companies, thousands of funds, and well over a million equity holders.
Anduin is a private-markets fintech that digitizes the messy back office of alternative investing - turning paper-heavy fund subscriptions, data rooms, and investor onboarding into a single software workflow used by GPs and LPs around the world.
Alex Robinson is the CEO and Co-founder of Juniper Square, a San Francisco-based private markets software platform serving 2,000+ GPs managing over $1 trillion in investor equity. Founded in 2014 after Robinson spent years at Microsoft and building GreenDoor (a PACE clean energy lending platform that collapsed when federal regulators abruptly ended the subsidy program), Juniper Square has grown into a $1.1 billion unicorn after a $130M Series D in June 2025. Robinson's singular focus: digitizing the paper-and-spreadsheet world of private equity partnerships and making private markets infrastructure as reliable as the public markets infrastructure that came before it.
Yonas Fisseha is the Co-Founder and CTO of Juniper Square, the San Francisco-based private markets platform that manages over $1 trillion in LP capital across 40,000+ funds. A Michigan State-trained computer engineer whose career spans Motorola, Shopping.com, and Huddler.com, Yonas joined Juniper Square in 2014 at the invitation of co-founder Adam Ginsburg, who called him one of the best engineers he had ever worked with. Under his technical leadership, Juniper Square has grown to 950 employees, raised $576M in funding at a $1.1B valuation, and launched JunieAI, the first enterprise-grade AI platform purpose-built for private markets GPs.
Todd Glasson is the CEO and founder of InvestorFlow, the leading CRM and AI platform for private markets firms. Starting his career in 1996 at Pilot Software and building the Carlyle Group's website in 2001, he has spent nearly three decades defining how the investment management industry engages digitally. He co-founded Silver Oven in 2001 - the first digital agency exclusively focused on investment management - before launching InvestorFlow in 2015. Today InvestorFlow serves 200+ top private markets firms managing over $6 trillion in assets, and following the 2022 merger with Blackstone-incubated Cloud Theory and the 2024 acquisition of UK-based Coyote Software, InvestorFlow has grown into a category-defining platform for deal flow, fundraising, and investor services.
On March 31, 2026, OpenAI closed the largest private funding round in history — $122 billion in committed capital at a post-money valuation of $852 billion. Anchored by Amazon ($50B), Nvidia ($30B), and SoftBank ($30B), with continued participation from Microsoft and a sweeping syndicate of global institutions, the round dwarfs every prior private tech raise and cements OpenAI as the world's most valuable startup by a wide margin. The company is generating $2 billion in monthly revenue, counting 900 million weekly ChatGPT users, and is widely expected to pursue an IPO.
