Nabeel Hyatt
Nabeel Hyatt is a General Partner at Spark Capital, the Boston-born venture firm behind Discord, Coinbase, Affirm, and Warby Parker. A repeat founder-turned-investor, he opened Spark's San Francisco office in 2012 after selling his social gaming startup Conduit Labs to Zynga and riding Zynga's IPO. His portfolio reads like a cultural highlight reel: he backed Cruise before GM paid $1B+, Postmates before Uber, and Discord before it became the connective tissue of the internet. He deliberately makes only about two bets per year, applies a 'Japanese toilet' product lens to AI, co-hosts the Hallway Chat podcast, and recently co-founded a physical board game library in Berkeley with Groupon's Andrew Mason.
