John Alvarez
Founder of ZeroBot.ai
John is the founder of ZeroBot.ai, an AI voice platform developed in close collaboration with OpenAI. ZeroBot's agents do not just answer, they converse, adapt and perform, and the platform has passed 3.1 million downloads.
Before ZeroBot, John turned JunkDoctorsNJ into a tech-powered operation and scaled it to a million-dollar-a-year business, resetting the bar for efficiency and customer experience in an industry nobody calls glamorous.
AI depth plus operator grit: John builds technology that pays for itself in the real world.
Kashif Bhaor
Founder of VerifyBuy
Kashif is the founder and former CEO of VerifyBuy (previously BeSoji), where an AED 30,000 investment became a seven-figure acquisition in four years. Bootstrapped end to end, it grew into the UAE's most trusted vehicle inspection platform, working long term with Copart MEA, AutoData and EData.
Before that he held leadership roles at Dubicars.com and Carasti, started as an automotive journalist at YallaMotor, and moved into sales leadership at Dubizzle. A full circle of the automotive tech industry, from writing about it to running it.
Lean startups into market leaders, through execution rather than luck.
