Jay Dang (Jiacheng Dang) is the co-founder and CEO of Kaon (formerly FlowGPT), an AI-native content platform he launched in January 2023 just two days after founding the company - at age 20 during his freshman year at UC Berkeley. He subsequently dropped out to lead FlowGPT full-time, growing the platform to 3+ million monthly active users and 100,000+ AI applications across 110 countries before raising a $10M pre-Series A round in February 2024 led by Goodwater Capital and DCM Ventures. Under his leadership, the company rebranded to Kaon and launched Emochi, an AI storytelling app that reached #12 globally with 12.3M monthly active users by April 2026.
Harrison Chase is the co-founder and CEO of LangChain, the open-source framework that became the default scaffolding for developers building LLM-powered applications. Starting as an 800-line Python package he wrote as a side project in October 2022, LangChain has grown to serve 1 million+ developers, 80 million monthly downloads, and blue-chip enterprise customers from Uber to JPMorgan - reaching a $1.25 billion valuation after a $125 million Series B in October 2025. A Harvard-trained statistician who got into machine learning through sports analytics, Chase built LangChain to solve the problem he kept running into at work: there was no good way to chain LLM calls together into reliable, production-ready applications.
