Chamath Palihapitiya led Facebook's growth team before founding Social Capital in 2011, which he later converted into a holding company that no longer takes outside capital. He popularized the SPAC boom of 2020-2021, taking Virgin Galactic and others public, and co-hosts the All-In podcast. He continues to run Social Capital and, more recently, the industrial AI company 8090.
Mamoon Hamid joined Kleiner Perkins in 2017 to lead the storied firm's return to early-stage form, after co-founding Social Capital and backing Slack, Box and Intercom in their earliest rounds. His Series A bet on Figma, acquired attention through its 2025 IPO, helped carry him to the top tier of the Forbes Midas List, where he ranked 12th in 2026.
