AI Fireside Chat with Glean Founder & Hootsuite Founder
This event is brought together by YEYAwards.com, North House and LOI.ac, Canada's top young entrepreneurship platform for founders under the age of 30. If you haven't already applied or nominated a friend to YEYAwards.com, please do that now.
Now, back to the big event. Wondering what it takes to build one of the world's fastest-growing AI companies? Join us for an intimate fireside chat with Tony Gentilcore, Cofounder of Glean.com, and Ryan Holmes, Cofounder & CEO of Hootsuite.com, for an inside look at building category-defining technology companies.
In just a few years, Glean has become one of Silicon Valley's breakout AI success stories — growing from startup to over $300M in ARR and a $7.2B valuation, while becoming the trusted AI platform inside companies like LinkedIn, Dell, Workday, Samsung, Pinterest, Intuit, and Booking.com. Tony previously spent more than a decade at Google, where he helped modernize Google Search and founded Chrome's Speed Team before helping launch Glean.
Ryan Holmes transformed Hootsuite into one of Canada's most successful technology companies and is now investing at the forefront of AI through LOI Venture while helping shape Hootsuite's AI strategy.
Together, they'll share hard-earned lessons on scaling products used by millions, building enduring companies, navigating the AI wave, and what founders need to know to win over the next decade. Expect an evening of candid stories, practical insights, and an inside look at how tomorrow's iconic technology companies are being built today.
