Agostino Russo — Founder & CEO, microQuant
microQuant is a London-based platform that turns quantitative analytics and business intelligence into modular, low-code applications. Its cloud-based framework lets non-programmers build, customise and share analytics apps in real time, with AI-assisted custom code blocks. The technology is already in production with a $3bn digital-asset manager and in testing with hedge funds — including a $100bn+ fund — a stock exchange and trading-technology firms. microQuant is led by Agostino Russo, who built and battle-tested the platform in a senior role at a major hedge fund.
Lara Mazzoni — Co-founder & CEO, Bodi.Me
Bodi.Me is a UK fashion-tech company tackling the garment industry's fit problem with AI-driven sizing. Its proprietary Size-Me tool delivers accurate, personalised size and fit recommendations — with a particular focus on workwear and uniforms — sharply reducing return rates and their environmental impact. The award-winning company has supported organisations including M&S and the NHS in moving to better-fitting, gender-neutral and more sustainable uniforms, and in 2025 launched a US-based inclusive marketplace.
Luca Benini — Co-founder & COO, Vinton AI
Vinton is a Salesforce-native AI notetaker that turns sales conversations into actionable CRM data. It automatically captures notes from calls and meetings and writes them straight into Salesforce, freeing revenue teams to focus on the conversation rather than manual admin and keeping pipeline data accurate and complete. It is co-founded by Luca Benini, a SaaS leader with two decades' experience across MarTech, eCommerce and analytics.
Luca Ventriglia — Co-founder, FairShot AI
FairShot works with banks, consulting and law firms to screen candidates more effectively before human interviews, so Associates, VPs and Directors spend time only on the people who genuinely warrant it. Its 20–30 minute AI-led interviews are tailored to each firm's process and style, covering both technical and motivational dimensions, and produce a ranked shortlist with full transcripts, scorecards and a robust anti-cheating suite. Already working with global banks, MBBs and leading law firms, FairShot lifts the quality of candidates reaching in-person rounds while cutting hours spent on weaker ones.
Roberta Morelli Pedersoli — Co-founder & CEO, Fluum
Fluum is an enterprise GTM Intelligence company that builds a live view of your market, from the accounts most likely to buy to the decision makers controlling the budget. We then run campaigns that put you in front of the right people, at the right time. Fluum is led by Roberta Morelli Pedersoli, a Bocconi graduate and former Morgan Stanley derivatives trader, alongside co-founders Loan Alouache (CTO) and Scarlette De Gregorio (CMO).
