My career has been spent founding startups across gaming, travel, AI, insurance, hardware, and social video.I've led both product and technology as a leader and individual contributor across all kinds of weird platforms: from the early Roku to every kind of mobile device.I love building products that make people happy, and teams that love what they do.The Rattle --------------------------At Rattle Ventures we're building the future of how culture is funded, and turning artists into terrifyingly effective founders.Provocate Science -----------------I've spent the last 4 years at MIT helping world class scientists and engineers turn into even better founders.Just like in 2006 when YCombinator was getting started in Cambridge, there's a huge frustration with existing sources of institutional funding.I believe we should be backing hungry new scientist-founders who also want to be CEO of their company.Apply to join Provocative Science at: https://angel.co/s/nick-meyer/AzumFMIT ----------------------------------As a Senior Lecturer at MIT's Sloan School of Business, I spend my time with the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, and the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
