Katie Hunt
Katie Hunt is the co-founder and CEO of Oh Norman!, a dog wellness brand she launched with actor Kaley Cuoco after a LinkedIn cold message turned into a business partnership. Before chihuahuas and chewable supplements, she was the third employee at Warby Parker, the Chief Brand Officer who rebranded Hinge, a co-founder of the four-story retail playground SHOWFIELDS, and a co-founder of the early-stage fund now called Everywhere Ventures.
David Rose
David Rose is a five-time entrepreneur, author, and former MIT Media Lab lecturer who builds technology that disappears into everyday life. Today he is co-founder and CEO of LOOKOUT, a Boston marine AI company that fuses computer vision, radar, AIS and chart data into a single augmented reality view so boaters can spot vessels, debris, whales and people in the water before it is too late. Before LOOKOUT he invented the Ambient Orb (now in MoMA), built the cellular GlowCap pill cap, ran computer-vision pioneer Ditto Labs, led vision technology at Warby Parker, and wrote two influential books, Enchanted Objects and SuperSight.
Bijan Sabet
Bijan Sabet is a first-generation American venture capitalist, co-founder of Spark Capital, and former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic. The son of Iranian and Korean immigrants who met in a New York medical school, he drove from Boston to Silicon Valley after a 1991 Macworld, built foundational consumer internet companies, then returned east to co-found Spark Capital in 2005 - backing Twitter when it had 11 employees, Tumblr before it sold to Yahoo for $1.1 billion, and Discord before it became the home for every online community. After stepping back from Spark in 2021, President Biden appointed him Ambassador to Prague, where he served until January 2025. He is also a film photographer, board member of Human Rights Watch, and trustee at Boston College.
Joel Cutler
Joel Cutler is the co-founder and Managing Director of General Catalyst, one of the most influential venture capital firms in the world. Since co-founding the firm in 2000 with David Fialkow - a partnership forged at summer camp at age 8 - Cutler has backed transformative companies including Airbnb, Warby Parker, Venmo, Lemonade, and KAYAK, which he literally conceived and assembled from scratch. A law school graduate who never practiced law, a self-described non-visionary who keeps a 'Wall of Shame' of deals he missed, and a travel obsessive who attended Phocuswright for 20+ consecutive years, Cutler operates with a contrarian philosophy: he only wants 'exciting, different, and risky' bets, believes great teams beat great ideas every time, and insists that if you don't fail, you're a bad investor.
Kirsten Green
Kirsten Green is the founder and managing partner of Forerunner Ventures, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm with nearly $3 billion in AUM that made early bets on Dollar Shave Club, Warby Parker, Glossier, Bonobos, and Chime. A former equity research analyst who walked mall parking lots every Friday counting shopping bags, Green built Forerunner over a decade of SPV investments before raising her first institutional fund in 2012. Her consumer-first thesis - that following where people spend their time and money reveals where the economy is heading - has made her one of the most recognized venture investors in the world, appearing on the Forbes Midas List and Forbes World's 100 Most Powerful Women consecutively since 2017.
