Dana Dunford Built for the 2 A.M. Phone Call
A finance analyst turned a family landlord problem into Hemlane. Her bet is that rental management works best when software handles the routine and local people handle the moments that require judgment.
Mark Murphy
Mark Murphy is the co-founder and CEO of Banner (withbanner.com), a New York proptech building the capital-expenditure operating system for commercial real estate. After years in real estate finance at Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets, he watched institutional owners run billion-dollar capital projects on spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected tools, and started Banner in 2019 with college friend Kunal Chaudhary to replace that mess with one platform. Backed by Y Combinator (S19), Blackstone, Fifth Wall, Pruven Capital and Basis Set Ventures, Banner raised a $10M Series A in October 2023 and now oversees more than $10 billion in capital spend for operators like Starwood Capital, LivCor, Morgan Properties and Industrious.
Alex Robinson
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.
