We’re pleased to host Wesley Holliday, Philosophy Professor at UC Berkeley, for a thought-provoking lunchtime lecture exploring how voting systems shape outcomes — often in surprising ways.

Rather than advocating for any party or ideology, Professor Holliday examines how electoral structures themselves influence fairness, tradeoffs, and reform. His work bridges theory and practice, including the development of StableVoting.org, a real-world platform for testing voting systems.

Wesley earned his PhD in Philosophy at Stanford University and works at the intersection of logic, social choice theory, and democratic design.

We’re excited to host a special Marintrepreneurs evening focused on one of the most challenging aspects of entrepreneurship: growing a company while preserving and strengthening relationships.

For the first time since 2018, Marintrepreneurs welcomes a Latino tech power couple, Lucas Funes and Cecilia Flores, co-founders of Webee, a fast-growing Industrial IoT software company that recently raised a significant round of funding.

Lucas, CEO and Founder of Webee, is a Stanford Latino Entrepreneur and seasoned technology leader with more than 20 years of experience building startups, patents, and high-impact engineering and sales teams. His work centers on creating scalable, intuitive Industrial IoT solutions that deliver real-time insights without requiring specialized technical expertise.

Cecilia, Co-Founder and COO, is a tech entrepreneur, operator, and UN SDG Champion building mission-driven companies at the intersection of AI, SaaS, and social impact. A Vital Voices Global Ambassador and Microsoft M12 U.S. Enterprise SaaS award winner, Cecilia will also share a sneak-peek demo of her newest project — an app using music to support youth mental health.
