Brendan Foody is the 22-year-old co-founder and CEO of Mercor, the AI talent and data company that became a $10 billion decacorn in under two years. A Georgetown dropout and former Thiel Fellow from Menlo Park, California, Foody co-founded Mercor with high school debate teammates Adarsh Hiremath and Surya Midha at a São Paulo hackathon in early 2023. Mercor connects AI labs — including OpenAI, Meta, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic — with domain experts (scientists, doctors, lawyers, bankers) who train frontier AI models through human feedback, growing from $1M to $500M in annual run rate within 17 months and making Foody one of the world's youngest self-made billionaires.
Chris Toy is the CEO and co-founder of MarketerHire, the AI-powered on-demand marketing talent platform that has made over 25,000 successful marketer-company matches for clients including Netflix, Allbirds, and Glossier. With 20+ years spanning direct mail agencies, a soccer webcomic, comic-book marketing, and now leading a company ranked #71 on the 2025 Inc. 5000, Toy built MarketerHire after running his own agency and repeatedly turning down clients because he couldn't staff them fast enough - then deciding to fix the problem himself.
