A graduate of Yale Law School and UC Berkeley who started at a community college and a 'last chance' high school, he spent a decade in government and addiction services - leading work in McKinsey's government practice, advising governors, and serving in the White House - before building Recover to make recovery accessible to low-income and underserved people.

Dr. Nimrod Kozlovski is the founder and CEO of Cytactic, a Tel Aviv-based cyber crisis readiness and management platform that raised a $16M seed round in 2024 led by Evolution Equity Partners. A cyber-law scholar turned operator, he holds a J.S.D. from Yale Law School with a post-doc in computer science, founded the cybersecurity program at Tel Aviv University's business school, was a partner at JVP Cyber Labs, led the tech and regulation practice at Herzog Fox & Neeman, and served as a captain in an IDF electronic warfare unit.

He previously co-founded Ameelio, a technology nonprofit that broke open the exploitative prison communications industry by offering free letters, calls and education to incarcerated people and their families. A Yale-trained lawyer and Cambridge criminologist who moonlit as a DJ, he has been named to MIT Technology Review's 35 Innovators Under 35 and Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business.
Marc Allen
Marc Allen is the CEO of Electra.aero, a Manassas, Virginia startup building the EL9, a nine-seat hybrid-electric ultra-short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft that can lift off in roughly 150 feet of runway. A Yale Law graduate and former U.S. Supreme Court clerk who spent 17 years at Boeing - including stints as Chief Strategy Officer, President of Boeing International, and Chairman of Wisk Aero - Allen left the world's largest aerospace company in August 2024 to run a startup chasing what he calls 'Direct Aviation': air travel without airports, emissions, or noise. Under his watch Electra has stacked up roughly 2,200 pre-orders worth nearly $9 billion and closed a $115 million Series B.
Basha Rubin
Basha Rubin is the CEO and co-founder of Priori, a legal marketplace that uses data instead of firm letterhead to match in-house teams with vetted outside counsel. She started the company in 2013 straight out of Yale Law School with classmate Mirra Levitt, at age 25 and with no business or technology background. A decade later she has raised more than $20 million, built a network spanning the $800 billion legal-services market, and become one of the most recognized voices arguing that how companies buy legal help is broken and fixable.
Daniel Simon
Daniel Simon is the founder and CEO of Coast, a New York fintech rebuilding the way commercial fleets pay for fuel, maintenance, and everything else that keeps work trucks moving. A software engineer turned Yale-trained lawyer, he co-founded the consumer lender Bread (sold for over $500M in 2020) before turning his attention to plumbers, HVAC installers, and landscapers - the 'real-world' businesses he felt a decade of fintech had ignored. Coast has raised more than $200M from ICONIQ Growth, Accel, Insight Partners, and Synchrony, and runs on Visa rails with an SMS-based driver authentication system that works on flip phones.
