Joining Hill As Head of Product
In some personal news, I'm excited to join Hill.com as Head of Product, leading product, engineering and design across the company. I began working with Hill's CEO Andrew Benson on the product in December and since then have led the initial MVP design, branding and now will cover engineering under this new role.
Hill is a new marketplace for trading private companies. Think OpenAI, SpaceX, Stripe and more. Currently investing in these companies is expensive or inaccessible to retail customers. Hill is opening this up so that more people can invest in the future.
My role at Hill is in addition to my current work, and the team at NBS will be continuing to serve as Hill's embedded design team.
With initial launch imminent and some exciting assets already lined up for the platform be sure to join the waitlist at hill.com
