The founding cohort

Fifteen people, and no more.

The cohort is closed at fifteen. Numbers are fixed in invite order and are never reissued, so a gap in this ledger stays a gap.

Entries marked listed were published by IIDA from public professional information — a name, a title, a city, a LinkedIn profile — and were not written by the person themselves. Everyone listed has been invited to correct their entry, choose what appears, and confirm it; once they do, the entry is theirs and the mark goes. Anyone can ask to be removed at any time, and we do it without asking why.
