Nimo Naamani

Nimo is a serial founder and engineer who leans into the hard problems: Integration, AI, developer tools, and now healthcare infrastructure with Propagator, a platform aiming to connect every health transaction in New Zealand. He’s built and sold a startup into Twitter, shipped product under Jack Dorsey, and previously co-founded Horizon State, a blockchain voting company recognised on the global stage. Across all of it, he’s kept the same core philosophy: every system breaks and leaks, so design for reality, not for slide decks. Nimo is a great mentor for founders and engineers who want to sharpen how they think about: Zero-to-One company and product building; Deep technical decision-making and system design; Preparing for and navigating acqui-hire, exits, and high-ambiguity environments. As seen on Startup Theatre: listen to his episode “My software will power every health transaction worldwide within two years” here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Z0MwN9PFIPJceCKVNPx7n
