A little about me..
Nabeel is Founder and CEO of Conduit Labs, the creators of Loudcrowd. Built by a team responsible for products as diverse as the Ambient Orb, Rock Band, and Lord of the Rings Online, Loudcrowd’s mission is to build a platform for social music gaming on the web. Conduit is venture funded by the excellent folks at Charles River Ventures and Prism, and we are currently in public beta.
More of the professional stuff…
Nabeel was most recently an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at a VC, helping establish their gaming investment thesis and incubating Conduit Labs. Previously he was COO and VP Product Development at Ambient Devices, where he helped pioneer glanceable technology: embedding Internet information in everyday objects, which won the 2002 “Ideas of the Year” award in The NY Times. Prior to that Nabeel served as COO/CMO of Teamtalk, a new media sports company and pioneer in SMS-based subscription services which reached $160m in revenue and went public on the LSE in 2001.
Nabeel is also active in the Boston startup community as an advisor and investor, and is a mentor at the seed mentorship organization Techstars. Nabeel was a 2004 nominee for the Top 100 Innovators Under 30 from MIT Technology Review. He has been quoted in Newsweek, The NY Times, Business 2.0, and has been a featured speaker at SXSW, CES, Game Developer’s Conference, and the Virtual Goods Summit.
You know, sometimes I don’t work..
I’ve got a strong love of international soccer, and an unfortunate aversion to excersise. I’ve lived in a strange set of places, from Thailand to Indiana to England to North Carolina, and currently am a resident of Cambridge, MA. I’ve got a wife, kids, and consider myself very lucky to be able to build things I love.
