Welcome Nabeel
Nabeel Hyatt has joined Spark Capital. I’m delighted by the addition of a talented entrepreneur to our team.
I first “met” Nabeel on a winding trip down the rabbit hole of blogs in early 2007. We traded comments on blogs back and forth before meeting for the first time in person at SXSW that year. I recall being impressed by his depth in the online gaming market, and the way in which he could cut to the real story behind quantitative analytics. His Rock Band skills weren’t too shabby either.
Nabeel is a maker by nature, and he has built some very interesting companies over the years. I remember studying the Ambient Orb in my Human Computer Interaction coursework at Stanford, which was the product of one of his startups: Ambient Devices. He brings to the table a wealth of operating experience across a number of startups, and he is a valuable member of the local Boston startup community, from his mentorship at TechStars to co-founding the OpenCoffee Cambridge sessions. I know he’ll make all of us at Spark better investors as he too becomes a great investor himself, and I’m delighted to welcome him aboard.
