Shane Mac

I'm Shane, co-founder and CEO at XMTP Labs, where we're building the open protocol for secure messaging between wallets, apps, and users. Within this lives Convos.

Before this I built Assist (acquired by Conversocial), co-founded Squared Away (remote assistants for military spouses), and before that Zaarly and Gist (acquired by BlackBerry for $40M). I grew up in Bartonville, Illinois graduating with 9 kids in my class, taught myself to code, and built my entire career on Twitter connections that had no business happening.

Ask me about: how XMTP works, my journey here, and anything about scaling companies
