Wojciech Blaszak is the co-founder and CEO of Golf (YC X25), a San Francisco company building a security and governance control plane for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the layer where AI agents connect to company data. He started his first business at 14, grew it to around $200k in revenue, and left university after a single semester to build full-time with his longtime collaborator Antoni Gmitruk. Golf began as an open-source framework for shipping production MCP servers and grew into an enterprise product that discovers shadow AI, enforces per-tool policies, and produces compliance-ready audit trails.

Simon Willison is a British software engineer, open source creator, and AI commentator best known for co-creating the Django web framework and building Datasette, the open-source data exploration tool. He coined the term 'prompt injection' in 2022 and popularized 'AI slop' in 2024 - a word later named Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year. Through his prolific blog (active since 2002), newsletter with 54,000+ subscribers, and 100+ open source tools, he is one of the most influential independent voices at the intersection of LLMs and open source software.
