Shimin Ooi
Shimin Ooi is the CEO of Sleep Reset, a virtual sleep clinic that pairs licensed clinical care with a proprietary CBT-I program to treat insomnia without sleeping pills. A Princeton graduate who built her career across McKinsey, Pilot, and Index Ventures, she now runs a company arguing that a lot of what people call burnout is really untreated bad sleep. In 2025 she took Sleep Reset's pitch to the HLTH stage and walked away with the AARP AgeTech After Dark prize.

David Kopp
David Kopp is the CEO of Sleep Doctor, a direct-to-consumer sleep health company operating SleepDoctor.com, SleepFoundation.org, and SleepApnea.org. A Harvard-educated literature major who pivoted from journalism into internet media, Kopp spent a decade as CEO of Healthline Media - growing it from 1 million to 70 million monthly US visitors and engineering a 5X private equity return before stepping down in 2020. He now brings that playbook to Sleep Doctor, where he's betting the same formula of trusted health content plus e-commerce can crack a market where 50+ million Americans suffer from sleep disorders but access to quality care remains stubbornly difficult.
