Gabriel Paunescu is the founder and CEO of Naologic, a no-code platform that lets companies build and customize enterprise software (ERP, CRM, workflow apps) without a development team, and now layers multi-agent AI on top of legacy business systems. A Romanian-born serial entrepreneur with seven startups and two exits behind him, he started exporting essential oils at 17 and now keynotes at Google Next, mentors at UC Berkeley, and writes about building AI agents that catch their own hallucinations. His core belief: buying software you cannot modify is like buying a horse instead of a car.
Lucian Todea is a Romanian-born serial entrepreneur and early-stage investor who built Soft32 from a $3/month passion project into one of the world's largest software distribution platforms, co-founded MultiversX (formerly Elrond) - a pioneering layer-1 blockchain - and now serves as Partner at 2048 Ventures in New York, where he has invested in 200+ companies including Anthropic, Perplexity, Chainalysis, Suno, and Kraken. An Ironman finisher and relentless builder, Todea embodies the conviction that technology exists not for its own sake, but to improve and enrich human lives.
