Dana Kim
Dana Kim is the co-founder and CEO of Highlight, a New York-based product intelligence platform that modernizes in-home product testing for consumer brands. A former qualitative market researcher who spent years collecting insights the slow way - standing in stores with paper surveys for brands like Coca-Cola and Nike - she went to Wharton for an MBA, met co-founder Ethan Kellough, and built a technology-driven alternative that pairs a proprietary consumer community with logistics automation and AI analytics. Founded in 2020, Highlight has raised more than $30 million and works with brands including Nestle, Procter & Gamble and Mondelez. Kim has been named to GreenBook's 2022 Future List and Inc.'s 2024 Female Founders 250 list.
Varun Sharma
Varun Sharma is the co-founder and CEO of Enterpret, an AI platform that turns messy, scattered customer feedback into a structured, queryable dataset for product teams. The 15th employee at Amplitude and a former enterprise customer success leader at Scale AI, he spotted a recurring blind spot: teams could track retention to the decimal but couldn't answer 'what are our top three customer pain points?' In 2020 he recruited his brother Arnav, then an Uber engineer, and the two built Enterpret in stealth for roughly 20 months before landing Notion as their first customer. The company raised a $20.8M Series A led by Canaan Partners in December 2024 and counts Canva, Notion, Loom, Strava, Linear, Perplexity and Descript among its users.
