Together with our friends at Battery Ventures, we hosted 150 top cloud CEOs this week for our eighth annual CloudNY summit — an invite-only gathering that’s become one of the most anticipated gatherings in tech. No press. No panels. Just honest conversations from category-defining leaders, behind closed doors.

CloudNY is about celebrating the builders — the CEOs in the trenches scaling real businesses, solving hard problems, and pushing the cloud ecosystem forward. To all those who attended CloudNY 2025: we were honored to be in the room with you.

This year, we heard from iconic CEOs and Founders, including Matthew Prince (Cloudflare), Harley Finkelstein (Shopify), Hayden Brown (Upwork), Henry Schuck (Zoominfo), and Avishai Abrahami (Wix). Each of these speakers generously shared behind-the-scenes stories, hard-won lessons, and critical company-building insights, not shared anywhere else.

We also enjoyed incredible views of New York, 101 floors up at Peak Hudson Yards, took in the sunset together, and spent an amazing evening with peers and friends, old and new.
