Jay Madheswaran Put AI on the Plaintiff's Side of the Table

Jason Dorfman

He built the idea out of a problem he lived through as the first sales hire at Rubrik, where reps dialed 100 times a day to get a handful of pickups. Since founding Orum in 2019 with Karthik Viswanathan, he has raised more than $50 million and grown the company into a widely used tool across outbound sales teams. He is based in Austin, Texas.

Noel Moldvai is the co-founder and CEO of Augment, a FINRA-registered marketplace that lets accredited investors buy and sell shares of late-stage private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI and Stripe with order-book style trading. A former Google engineer and founding engineer at Rubrik, where he felt the pain of locked-up employee equity firsthand, he built Augment from beta to a roughly $10M run rate in about 18 months, profitably, crossing $400M+ in trade volume and raising about $16M. Berkeley EECS grad, holder of 10+ patents, and a self-described metalhead who plays guitar and drums.
Bipul Sinha
Bipul Sinha is the CEO, Chairman, and Co-Founder of Rubrik, the publicly traded data security company he built from a Bihar basement story into a $17B+ NYSE-listed cybersecurity platform. Before founding Rubrik in 2014, he spent nearly a decade as a venture capitalist at Lightspeed Venture Partners — backing companies like Nutanix and Hootsuite — and nine years at Oracle holding 30+ patents in distributed computing. An IIT Kharagpur and Wharton alumnus who grew up in poverty in Darbhanga, Bihar, Sinha turned a contrarian bet on backup-and-recovery software into the gold standard for enterprise data resilience in the ransomware era.
