SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yi Shi, founder of AI startup FlashIntel, has won the prestigious charity lunch auction with Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce. The annual auction, organized by GLIDE, supports the organization's mission to combat poverty and homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area.

This high-profile tradition, formerly associated with legendary investor Warren Buffett, continues its legacy by inviting influential business leaders to participate in meaningful dialogue while supporting impactful causes.

"I deeply admire what Marc Benioff has built with Salesforce—combining visionary technology leadership with a strong sense of social responsibility," said Yi Shi. "Attending the Buffett lunch a decade ago left a lasting impression on me. Winning this year's lunch with Marc is both a personal milestone and a chance to discuss how AI can drive positive transformation in business and society."

Yi Shi leads FlashIntel, an AI company building autonomous agents that transform sales and customer engagement processes. FlashIntel's cutting-edge AI agents are designed to execute complex go-to-market workflows—from lead generation to multichannel outreach to real-time conversations—without human input, driving efficiency and customer satisfaction across the board.

Benioff, known for his values-driven leadership and commitment to philanthropy, follows Warren Buffett as the next philanthropic leader to participate in GLIDE's iconic auction events.

The proceeds from the Power of One charity lunch directly benefit GLIDE's programs in San Francisco, providing meals, housing assistance, healthcare, and recovery services to thousands in need.
