Matt Barnard is the cofounder and CEO of one.bio, a Sacramento biotechnology company turning plant fiber into odorless, tasteless nutrients that can be dosed into everyday food to reshape the gut microbiome. A seventh-generation Wisconsin farmer turned technology operator, he first became known as the cofounder and CEO of Plenty, the SoftBank-backed indoor vertical farming unicorn. He now applies the same obsession - control what people eat, control their health - to fiber science spun out of UC Davis.

George Kalogeropoulos is the co-founder and CEO of HealthSherpa, the private-sector enrollment engine that sits on top of HealthCare.gov. When the federal exchange buckled at its 2013 launch, he and two collaborators built a faster alternative in a matter of days. HealthSherpa has since enrolled more than 10 million Americans in ACA coverage. Raised in Greece by a sculptor father and a tutor mother, he studied political science at Yale, did a stint at Bridgewater Associates, then pivoted a Y Combinator rent-prediction startup into a mission to make health insurance legible.
one.bio is a Sacramento biotechnology company that releases short-chain plant fibers and makes them flavorless, odorless, colorless and water-soluble so they can be added to food and drinks at high doses without changing taste or texture. Spun out of UC Davis, it pairs a fiber-mapping knowledgebase called the Glycopedia with a proprietary depolymerization process to turn long-chain plant carbohydrates - including agricultural byproducts - into bioactive fibers that feed the microbiome and support metabolic and immune health. The company raised a $27M Series A in December 2024 and in early 2026 launched its discovery platform, its first clinically validated ingredient (one.bio 01) and a consumer brand, GoodVice.
