About
Nabeel Hyatt is a former gaming entrepreneur turned venture investor at Spark Capital who looks for "weird" products that users already love deeply, rather than focusing on founder credentials or market size projections. He's known for spotting category-defining companies like Oculus, Discord, and Anthropic before they became obvious wins, and brings a games mindset to evaluating AI products—hunting for "Japanese toilets" of AI that quietly delight users in unexpected ways rather than just raw technical performance.
