1:00 pm – 1:15 pm

The Evolution of Penny Jar

Rich and Bryant open the afternoon with the story of how Penny Jar became what it is today: a walk through the portfolio, the wins and the lessons, and the thesis that has guided every investment. Access, influence, and reach—and what the firm looks for in the founders it backs.

1:15 pm – 2:00 pm

Speakers

Bryant Barr

Rich Scudellari

Founder Session

Upwind

Amiram Shachar on building an elite team as the durable advantage. In a market where capability is increasingly commoditized, Upwind has grown by recruiting senior leaders out of far larger companies—and Amiram makes the case that who you bring with you still decides the outcome.

2:05 pm – 2:30 pm

Speakers

Amiram Shachar

Break

2:30 pm – 2:45 pm

Founder Session

Burnt

JJ and Rhea built Burnt for an industry that doesn't trust technology, and won it by speaking its language. A conversation about founder-market fit, earning trust in relationship-driven verticals, and why insight into a customer beats a better idea about them.

2:50 pm – 3:15 pm

Speakers

Joseph Jacob

Rhea Karimpanal

Founder Session

Blee

Guy Shahar on AI as an amplifier rather than a replacement. Blee takes the work teams consider beneath them off their plate and moves them toward higher-value, more strategic work—the clearest human-plus-AI story of the afternoon, and the natural handoff into the fireside.

3:20 pm – 3:45 pm

Speakers

Guy Shahar

Break

3:45 pm – 4:00 pm

Fireside

The capstone conversation: people in the age of AI. Stephen Curry joins us to close out the afternoon program.

4:05 pm – 4:35 pm
