Late last year, Murali Joshi ’12 and Michael Sikand ’17 were named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30. Joshi, who was featured in the venture capital category, was the first member of his family to attend college in the United States. He is now a principal at ICONIQ Growth, has been involved in 55 investments in 17 companies, including Datadog and Procore, helping source or lead more than $2.02 billion in capital. He has personally sourced $1.04 billion in capital over 27 investments in 10 companies. 

Sikand was featured in the Media category. He co-founded the Our Future podcast in May 2020 as a way to reach younger people (commonly referred to as “Generation Z”) with business-focused content. It later pivoted to YouTube and has since spread to other platforms, receiving more than a billion views across YouTube (where it currently has nearly 450,000 subscribers), TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat. In February, Our Future was acquired by media company Morning Brew, which specializes in business news.
