Candice Xie
Candice Xie is the co-founder and CEO of Veo, the micromobility company she started in 2017 from West Lafayette, Indiana, while still in her twenties. A finance analyst by training rather than a Silicon Valley engineer, she built Veo into the first North American shared-micromobility operator to reach unadjusted EBIT profitability - reaching roughly $52 million in revenue on about $16 million of total funding, while competitors raised billions and flamed out. Calling herself an 'anti-tech bro' CEO and the 'tortoise' of the scooter race, she designs vehicles in-house, expands one city at a time, and won the largest exclusive micromobility contract in the United States with Denver.
Brock Arnason
Brock Arnason is the founder and CEO of Droit, a New York regtech firm that turns the live text of financial regulation into auditable, machine-readable logic - a discipline it calls computational law. A Cornell-trained engineering physicist and former Morgan Stanley fixed-income e-commerce executive, he started Droit in 2012 to solve the Dodd-Frank derivatives mess from the inside. Droit's Adept platform now answers 'can I trade this?' and reports trades for clients including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and UBS, and in 2025 the company was acquired by capital-markets technology giant FIS.
