On this week’s episode of Silicon Valley Impact, we speak with Blake Beltram, former founder of Mindbody and current founder of OffyO; Guy Horowitz of 33N Ventures; and Meg McWilliams, Founder and COO of Gossip Goblin.
Blake is the co-founder of Mindbody, the global leader in wellness business software that helped transform the fitness industry and ultimately sold for nearly $2B. He introduced online class booking—pioneering a new era in Fit-Tech. Having thrived through the dotcom boom and helped lead the wellness tech revolution, Blake is now stepping into the AI era with OffyO: an AI Self-Evolution Companion designed to help people live healthier, happier lives.
An author, mentor, and podcaster, Blake is known for fusing visionary thinking with pragmatic execution. His entrepreneurial memoir captures the raw reality of the founder’s journey, and his work continues to center on elevating the human experience.
Having recently launched his daughter into college as a single father, Blake is once again building from zero—with clarity, purpose, and conviction.
Guy is an entrepreneur-turned-VC who never really left the garage. While he primarily backs later-stage companies at 33N Ventures (and previously at DTCP), his heart still beats for early-stage founders and inception-stage chaos. A lifelong musician, Guy brings rhythm, instinct, and improvisation to the business world—traits that helped him spot some of Israel’s top cyber and SaaS stars before they made headlines. Now based in Silicon Valley, he’s blending Tel Aviv hustle with West Coast ambition, hunting for the next breakout. Whether on stage or in a boardroom, Guy is all about what matters most: helping others amplify their impact.
Meg is the Co-Founder and COO of Unproductive AI, where she’s building Gossip Goblin—AI agents that help you meet the right people at events.
Her passion lies in using technology to bring humans together. A community and event organizer since the age of five, Meg’s background is in VR and gaming. Most recently, she co-founded a game studio where she focused on creating truly social multiplayer experiences.
