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 MihalovichCo-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.
