Nick Abouzeid

Nick Abouzeid, law/scooter/credit card geek. My old words live at ProductHunt, AngelList, Bitcoin Magazine. I invest in companies at Shrug Capital. Follow our words here. I'm addicted to legal quicks, emerging technologies, and the weirdest parts of the internet. Dug into why Uber's credit card is going to bankrupt restaurants for The Next Web. Turns out I was right. Got addicted to charging dockless scooters, spoke with The Atlantic, the SF Chronicle, and CNET. Defined the Peskin Ratio, a better north star metric for scooter & micro-mobility success. Got frustrated with the mediocrity of the new Apple Card, so I wrote about ways Apple could actually "completely rethink the Credit Card." Used to write the Product Hunt & AngelList newsletters, sent to a combined 5M+ readers. When my tweets turned into stories: WSJ on thwarting Venmo scams, Mashable on hacking scooters, The Daily Dot on Twitch-controlled robots, Quartz on mining bitcoin in my dorm room, TechCrunch on Apple's "Please Update" bug, CNET on why MoviePass sucks, and TechCrunch/Engadget on Venmo's debit card.
