Sujay Suresh Kumar
Sujay Suresh Kumar is the cofounder and co-CEO of Lilu, a New York women's health hardware company building smart wearable tech for new mothers. An electrical engineer trained at the University of Pennsylvania, he designed circuits for CERN's ATLAS experiment, helped launch 4G in India at Reliance Jio, and spent two years on factory floors in Shenzhen turning a robotics-class side project into shipping products. He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2022.
AT Nakanishi
AT Nakanishi (Atsushi Nakanishi) is the founder and CEO of Triple W, the company behind DFree, the world's first personal wearable ultrasound sensor that predicts toilet timing. He launched the company in 2015 with high school and college friends, took it from Tokyo to Berkeley, and steered it to a Best of CES award and Series D funding. A self-described non-engineer who built a hardware company from zero, Nakanishi blends business pragmatism with a stubborn focus on solving an unglamorous, very human problem.
Neda Razavi
Neda Razavi is the CEO and Chairwoman of the Board at iSono Health, a South San Francisco medtech company building the world's first wearable, automated, portable FDA-cleared 3D breast ultrasound system. With 25 years of experience launching 65 products across six global platforms and generating over $9 billion in cumulative revenue at companies including Abbott, Roche, Medtronic, and Natera, Razavi joined iSono Health as an early investor and advisor before taking the helm in November 2023 to lead commercialization of the ATUSA system — a 2-minute, hands-free breast imaging device that pairs robotics, AI, and cloud analytics to make early breast cancer detection accessible to OB/GYNs and primary care providers without requiring a trained sonographer.
Hemkesh Agrawal
Hemkesh Agrawal is an engineer-turned-venture-operator who went from arriving in the US from India in 2019 to holding a patent, founding multiple startups, and becoming Head of Engineering at Redbud VC in Columbia, Missouri. A Board of Trustees Scholar at Michigan State University with a perfect 4.0 GPA, he co-founded UniServices (an Uber-for-odd-jobs platform for college students) and Village (AI-driven HOA management), and was one of only 15 selected out of 4,000 applicants for the Survive & Thrive entrepreneurship bootcamp at age 16. He bridges deep technical skill with startup hustle, embodying the rare builder who can go from Arduino prototypes to VC infrastructure.
