LINH LE
Linh Le is a chemical engineer by training, he has published multiple papers, international conference proceedings and currently holds six US patent. He later found Bonbouton, a technology platform for preventative diabetic healthcare. Prior to that, he received his MS in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University and BS in Chemistry from Vietnam National University. As a vivid distance runner, he recently acquired ultra-marathoner title, and had plan to run all the World Marathon Majors.
Linh is Co-founder and CEO of Bonbouton -- a technology platform for preventative diabetic health care. Their first product, a smart insole with a proprietary embedded graphene sensing system, passively monitors the skin’s physiological signals in order to detect early signs of foot ulcers. This simplifies patient self-monitoring and reduces the frequency of doctor visits. Bonbouton is the Smart Clothings winner of Wearable Technology Innovation World Cup 2017, a 2nd prize winner in the Lyfebulb-Novo Nordisk Innovation Summit 2017 and a USA National Science Foundation awardeeMatthew Oswald is head of research and development for Argyle Co, a design lab dedicated to building open source replacements for the consumer electronics we interact with every day. He spends his days building what he wished existed. Specializing in open source hardware development, 3D printing and robotics; his love of learning is second only to his steadfast belief in sharing that knowledge with his community.

His Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered coffee robot, Mugsy, is the world's first hackable, customizable, dead simple, robotic coffee maker. Mugsy uses standard web technologies to control every aspect of the brewing process and learns how to make the best possible cup through machine learning and user based recipe analysis. JORDAN MAYERSON
Jordan Mayerson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Hoplite Power. He is a full-stack developer, network architect, and self-taught electrical engineer. Prior to starting Hoplite, he spent 4+ years in corporate finance at Goldman Sachs and Guggenheim Partners.
Hoplite Power has developed NYC’s first 'charge-sharing' network for convenient, on-the-go smartphone charging; think CitiBike for on-demand mobile power. The Company’s network consists of Hoplite Hubs (small-footprint vending kiosks), located in various businesses and venues, which rent out Hoplites (universal external battery packs). With Hoplite, you can choose where and when you want to power up.
