A former captain of Harvard men’s basketball, Tyler remains ranked third all-time in scoring — ahead of Jeremy Lin — and was known as the go-to leader on the court. The Harvard Crimson called him “the Man, the big enchilada, the go-to guy. Period.” After playing professionally in Europe, Tyler went on to become a serial tech entrepreneur and exited founder.

Sean competed at the highest levels of swimming, setting national records as a member of the Canadian national team and advancing to the finals at the Seoul Olympics. He also won three NCAA championships — individual and team — with Stanford Swimming and Diving. After performing on the world stage, Sean built a career as a serial tech entrepreneur.
