Philipp Thurner
Philipp Thurner is the Austrian-born founder and CEO of Nexl, an AI-powered growth and CRM platform for law firms. He built the company in Sydney in 2018 after seeing spreadsheets of global lawyers being updated by hand at Gilbert + Tobin, pivoted through a 'LinkedIn for lawyers' phase, and now runs the business from Brooklyn as it serves more than 150 firms worldwide, including AmLaw 100 members. In October 2025 Nexl closed a $23M Series B (reported as A$35M) led by Tidemark, bringing total funding to roughly $45M.
Jody Glidden
Jody Glidden is the Founder and CEO of Postilize, a Miami Beach-based AI platform that introduced a new software category called Proactive Relationship Management (PRM) for law firms and professional services. A serial entrepreneur with five ventures and four exits, Glidden previously co-founded Introhive — which grew to a near-$500M valuation, 350+ employees, and 40x returns for early investors — before stepping back in 2022 to build Postilize. Rooted in his conviction that law firms lose clients not from poor service but from poor follow-through, Glidden is building AI that surfaces client opportunities before an RFP ever appears, drafts outreach in each partner's authentic voice, and demands zero data entry from its users.
Rohan Doctor
Rohan Doctor is the founder and CEO of Louisa AI, a New York relationship-intelligence platform that spun out of Goldman Sachs in 2023. After 17 years at Goldman, where he ran the Bank Solutions business and closed a record cross-border trade he chalked up to a chance hallway encounter, he set out to answer one question: what if you could systematize serendipity with data? Louisa maps who-knows-who and who-knows-what inside an organization, then proactively nudges colleagues toward deals and warm introductions. The company raised a $5M seed in March 2024 backed by angels and Oxford University, and counts Goldman Sachs among its blue-chip financial-services customers.
Ken Fine
Ken Fine is the CEO of Affinity, the AI-powered relationship intelligence platform trusted by more than half of the top venture capital firms for deal sourcing, portfolio management, and relationship-driven dealmaking. A Stanford MBA and Arjay Miller Scholar with engineering degrees from RPI and Virginia Tech, Ken brings a rare arc - US Navy officer to Goldman Sachs to serial SaaS operator - having guided Financial Engines, Medallia, and Heap through IPOs and acquisitions before taking the helm at Affinity in May 2024.
