Eitan Cohen
Eitan Cohen is the CEO and co-founder of TechSee, a Tel Aviv-based company that pioneered visual and agentic AI for customer service. Trained in computer science and psychology at Tel Aviv University, Cohen has spent two decades building and selling technology companies. He started TechSee in 2015 after realizing that voice and text support could not solve the everyday frustration of guiding someone through a technical problem they could see but not describe. Under his leadership, TechSee's computer-vision and augmented-reality platform now serves more than 1,000 customers, including Fortune 500 brands, and reports avoiding millions of technician visits each year.
Xiao Zhang
Xiao Zhang is the co-founder and CEO of Collov Labs (Collov AI), a Redwood City visual-AI company that turns a single photo of a room into reimagined interior designs and staged real-estate listings. A Stanford applied-physics PhD who trained machine-learning models on free-electron lasers before pivoting to product, he is betting that the next interface for AI is the camera, not the chat box. In April 2026 Collov raised a $23M Series A and launched a research lab to push diffusion models, spatial reasoning, and agentic workflows toward AI that understands and acts on the physical world.
Pramod Sharma
Pramod Sharma is the Founder and CEO of Napkin AI, a generative-AI platform that converts plain text into editable business visuals - diagrams, flowcharts, infographics, and charts - in seconds. A farmer's son from Rajasthan who cracked IIT Delhi on self-study, he went on to earn a Master's from Stanford, architect Google Books' scanning machines, and then co-found Osmo, the award-winning educational-gaming company sold to Byju's for $120 million in 2019. In 2021 he and co-founder Jerome Scholler turned their frustration with corporate slide decks into Napkin AI, which emerged from stealth in August 2024 with $10 million in seed funding from Accel and CRV.
