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.

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.
