Ignasi Costas

Managing Director · RCD Espanyol

  • Strategy

Runs one of Barcelona's most storied football clubs. Knows a thing or two about building organisations under pressure, managing complex stakeholders, and making big decisions with incomplete information.

Hector Balasch

Head of Growth · Google

  • Go-to-Market

Has helped hundreds of companies grow from first user to first million. Sharp on GTM motion design, distribution strategy, and the paid vs. organic channel debate everyone gets wrong at first.

Gina Vidal

Serial Founder & Executive Coach

  • Founder Coaching
  • Strategy

Three exits, two burnouts, and one very honest book about all of it. Now helps founders stay sane, make better decisions, and build companies they actually want to run long-term.

Dario Amodei

CEO · Anthropic

  • Applied AI
  • Product

Built the AI probably drafting half your emails. Has strong opinions on where this is heading and what it means for your product roadmap — whether you're building with AI or being disrupted by it.

Sam Altman

CEO · OpenAI

  • Fundraising
  • Strategy

Has raised more money than most countries have in reserve. Former YC president with a very specific view on what makes a company worth backing — and whether yours is one of them.

Jensen Huang

CEO · NVIDIA

  • Data
  • Applied AI

Spent 30 years betting everything on a chip nobody wanted — until everybody did. Exceptional on data infrastructure, long-term technical conviction, and patience as a genuine competitive advantage.

Patrick Collison

CEO · Stripe

  • Finance
  • Product

Built the internet's payments layer from a dorm room. Strong opinions on pricing models, developer experience, and how to build infrastructure products that compound over time rather than commoditise.

Sheryl Sandberg

ex-COO · Meta

  • Hiring
  • Operations

Scaled Meta from 500 to 50,000 people. Straight talk on building operational discipline in hypergrowth — culture, executive hiring, and the hard conversations that most founders keep postponing.

Brian Chesky

CEO · Airbnb

  • Brand
  • International

Took Airbnb from air mattresses to a global category. Exceptional on brand building, community as moat, crisis management, and the real cost of international expansion before you're ready.

Marc Andreessen

General Partner · a16z

  • Exits & M&A
  • Fundraising

Co-invented the web browser, co-founded the most influential VC firm of the last decade. Tends to have a view on most things. Particularly useful on exit timing, deal structure, and why you're probably underpricing yourself.

Anne Wojcicki

CEO · 23andMe

  • Legal
  • Regulated Industries

Built a consumer genetics company while fighting regulators on three continents. Invaluable on navigating FDA, GDPR, and any heavily regulated space where the rules change faster than you can read them.

Tobi Lütke

CEO · Shopify

  • Partnerships
  • Operations

Started by building a snowboard shop, ended up powering 10% of US e-commerce. Quietly one of the best operators in tech. Sharp on ecosystem thinking, platform partnerships, and building for the long game.
