Event Details

Three unicorn founders walk into a room…and you’re invited.

Join GBx for the latest instalment of our Power Brits series: fireside chats celebrating inspirational British leaders building ambitious companies and shaping the future of technology and commerce.

For this session, we’re bringing together industries that touch all our lives: healthcare and education. Chris Mansi and Sam Chaudhary will join Alice Bentinck for a conversation about building in the US, staying close to the people you serve and growing a company without losing sight of why you started.

About our speakers

Dr Chris Mansi is Co-Founder and CEO of the healthtech unicorn Viz.ai. A neurosurgeon turned entrepreneur, he co-founded the company to use AI to help identify disease and coordinate care, tackling delays between diagnosis and treatment, now used in over 2,000 hospitals across the US. His journey brings together clinical experience, technology and the challenge of introducing new ways of working into healthcare.

Sam Chaudhary is Co-Founder and CEO of edtech unicorn ClassDojo, the platform connecting teachers, children and families around their school communities. He has built a company focused on helping children learn and supporting the relationships around them, bringing a perspective on product, trust and building for a deeply human need. ClassDojo is used in 95% of U.S. K-8 schools.

They’ll be in conversation with Alice Bentinck MBE, Co-Founder and CEO of Entrepreneurs First, which backs talented people at the earliest stages of building a company – often before they have a co-founder or an idea. Alice brings years of experience working with ambitious founders as they turn their potential into businesses. The companies formed through EF, include Cleo, PolyAI and Gensyn, and are collectively valued at over $16bn.

Come for the stories and practical lessons, bring your questions, and stay to connect with fellow founders, operators and investors.
