Alvaro Morales
Alvaro Morales is the co-founder and CEO of Orb, the flexible billing engine behind companies like Vercel, Perplexity and Replit. Raised in Lima, Peru and trained as a computer scientist at MIT, he built products at Yahoo, Palantir and spent five years as an engineering leader at Asana, where he watched pricing changes that should have taken minutes drag on for months. In 2021 he and CTO Kshitij Grover founded Orb to let companies ship pricing as fast as they ship product. In June 2026, payments giant Adyen agreed to acquire Orb for $335 million.
Manny Medina
Manny Medina is the co-founder and CEO of Paid, a London-based platform that lets companies bill for AI agents based on the value they deliver instead of per-seat fees. Before Paid he built Outreach, the sales engagement company he grew from a near-dead recruiting marketplace into a business worth $4.4 billion with roughly $250 million in recurring revenue. An Ecuadorian computer engineer who was an early employee on what became AWS and spent six years at Microsoft, Medina is now betting that the seat-based SaaS pricing model is obsolete and that the agent economy needs a way to get paid.
