Sergei Sorokin

Sergei Sorokin is the co-founder and CEO of Highlight, a San Francisco company building a shared intelligence layer for the agentic age of work. He spent roughly eight years at Discord as one of its earliest product hires and eventual VP of Product, helping scale the platform from a few million users to hundreds of millions and building its revenue business, including Nitro, from zero. After Discord he advised and built AI startups, then took the helm of Highlight in March 2026 alongside a $40M Series A led by Khosla Ventures. His thesis: in the workplace, AI is no longer bottlenecked by intelligence, but by coordination.
