Mathias (Matt) Biilmann Christensen is a Danish-born entrepreneur who went from music journalist to Silicon Valley CEO. He co-founded Netlify in 2014, coined the term 'Jamstack' that reshaped modern web development, and most recently introduced 'Agent Experience (AX)' — the idea that software must be designed not just for humans but for the AI agents that increasingly act on their behalf. Netlify now serves 35 million+ websites and raised $212M total including a $105M Series D in 2021.
Hannah Greenberg is the CEO of Eleven Software, the cloud-based Wi-Fi authentication platform powering connectivity for 25,000+ hotel properties across 140+ countries - processing over 10 billion authentications per year for brands like Hilton, Marriott, Accor, and Wyndham. She acquired Eleven in 2022 through a search fund she built after her MBA at UC Berkeley Haas, then led the 2023 acquisition of UK-based Airangel to create the world's leading hospitality Wi-Fi management company. A Cornell Hotel School alumna with roots in PwC consulting and $1 billion in hotel development at Seaview Investors, Greenberg brings the rare combination of an owner-operator's instinct and a technologist's ambition to one of hospitality's most infrastructure-critical categories.
Joseph Kim is the CEO and co-founder of LILA Games, a venture-backed mobile game studio headquartered in Bengaluru, India, building Project Black - an ambitious free-to-play extraction shooter for mobile. With a career spanning two decades across Gaia Interactive, FunPlus (King of Avalon), Demiurge Studios, SEGA Networks, and NBCUniversal, Kim brings rare publishing-to-studio expertise to one of gaming's most competitive genres.

Nick Weaver is the co-founder and CEO of eero, the company that reimagined home Wi-Fi with the world's first whole-home mesh networking system. A Stanford-trained engineer turned McKinsey consultant turned venture capitalist, Weaver quit Menlo Ventures in 2014 to fix the router - a problem he'd been wrestling with since he was a kid setting up networks for neighbors in Chicago. He sold $2.5 million of product in two weeks, landed in 600 Best Buy stores within two years, and delivered eero to Amazon in a $97 million acquisition in 2019. He now leads eero as VP of Devices & Services under Amazon, where the mission is unchanged: make the technology in homes just work.
Emmett Shear co-founded Twitch in 2007 and spent 12 years as its CEO, growing it from a scrappy live-streaming experiment into the dominant gaming and creator platform that Amazon acquired for nearly $1 billion in 2014. After a surreal 72-hour stint as interim CEO of OpenAI during the Sam Altman board crisis in November 2023, he pivoted to founding Softmax, an a16z-backed AI alignment startup working on 'organic alignment' - a biology-inspired approach to making AI systems genuinely care about their communities rather than merely comply with rules.
