SIMON BATISTONI

Founder / VP of Platform

Simon built huge portions of Flickr's back-end back in the day, and was almost single-handedly responsible for Flickr's internationalization, including all of that gnarly stuff related to moderation, abuse mitigation, and monetization. He built large parts of the Glitch social layer at Tiny Speck. Before all this, he was part of the Search team at Yahoo. He likes simple, scalable solutions to ugly, hairy problems. He is British, but we try not to hold that against him.

ETHAN NAGEL

Founder / VP of Mobile

Ethan started coding when he was 13 and hasn't stopped since. Though he spent most of his career fixing big, messy enterprise software stacks, he fell love with the potential of mobile when he bought the first iPhone in 2007. He is an architect-hacker and was the most senior technical leader at AOL to still code. Ethan's dog Lucy is a fierce attack dog.

She's not quite sure what that phrase means but she loves cats (especially sweet Misty) and has proven again and again that she's one of the best when it comes to user experience. She graduated with a degree in Biology in 2008. After finding wireframes more exciting then mitosis, she cofounded a Graphic Design studio and then Rally Up, a location based mobile application. By 2010 Rally Up was snatched up by AOL, where she held a variety of influential product and interaction design roles.

Her work led to many awards and accolades, the least of which was "Best Laugh in All of Silicon Valley."
