Team

  • Abe McCallum
    Co-Founder, CEO

    Abe is our CEO – he’s been doing heel-clickers on a dirt bike since age 10, the guy just loves Motocross. Abe has been in tech for 13 years – his most recent success was Clikthrough, a company that he founded in 2006, grew to 7 figure revenues, and ran to breakeven. He exited the company at the end of 2011 and consulted in ad-tech until starting XS.

  • Nate Mihalovich
    Co-Founder, Product Marketing and Biz Dev

    Nate is our other co-founder and rising star in product marketing. He caught the surfing bug on a trip to Hawaii more than 10 years ago, and now you can find him suiting up in a wetsuit to face the cold waters of the central coast. Nate’s been an entrepreneur since a young age, starting his first business at 16 – annual benefit concerts featuring Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead that raised over $100k for non-profits.

  • Mike Marquez
    CTO

    Mike is our CTO and resident mountain man – from snowboarding to racing bikes downhill, he’s pumped to be outdoors. Mike has 15 years of coding experience, and most recently led the engineering team that built a social voting app for iOS. The app received 70k downloads in its first week and raised $1.5M in angel capital.

  • Andrew Finch
    Front-end iOS and Web developer

    Andrew is our front end iOS and web developer. He’s spent winters going up to the snow since he could barely walk. Luckily, Andrew loves coding almost as much as fresh powder – he recently won a hackathon content for a non-profit he helped start. He already has deep experience in building and launching products from scratch.
