Meet @vladtenev, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of @RobinhoodApp. In 2013, he teamed up with @BaijuBhatt to launch what would become one of the world’s largest trading platforms—now valued at over $60B. Before changing the game with Robinhood, Vlad was already deep in the finance world—earning math degrees at @Stanford & @UCLA and launching two startups in New York. Now, that’s the kind of journey with real lessons under the hood. (Yes, it’s a Robinhood pun. No, we’re not taking it back.) More speakers coming soon.

Lucy Liu, President and Co-founder of @airwallex, didn’t wait for borders to disappear. Instead, she built a company that makes crossing them simpler. What started as a bold idea in Melbourne in 2015 is now a global fintech platform used by 150,000+ businesses to scale worldwide. Before founding Airwallex, Lucy worked as an investment consultant at CICC and served as a board director in Hong Kong. Her leadership hasn’t gone unnoticed: Forbes, EY, Finnies, and the University of Melbourne have all named her among the top founders and fintech leaders in Asia. This November, Lucy is coming to Slush 2025 to share insights from her journey. You’ll want a front-row seat. Grab your ticket 👉
