Luke Fryer, Founder & CEO, Harri
Luke developed Harri to solve the hospitality industry’s greatest challenges: finding, hiring and managing great talent. Harri is an entirely new kind of software platform for HR and operations: Workforce OS. Broad in scope, narrow in vertical focus and deep in rich, industry-specific functionality as a result. Harri consolidates up to 30 fragmented point solutions into single, elegant, mobile first enterprise platform and massively streamlines the chore of daily operational challenges faced by employees, line managers and executives alike.

Eman Pahlavani, Founder & COO, HUNGRY
In 2017 Eman founded HUNGRY, a DC based food-tech platform that connects independent chefs to offices for corporate catering.
