Hi! I'm Nick Abouzeid. I run Rivet, the AI-native tax accounting firm. Previously, I led growth at Ramp.
I'm addicted to legal and tax quirks, collectibles from the '90s & 00's, and odd parts of the internet.
Wrote Against the Replacement Thesis — on why AI-native services firms will eat the labor market, not get replaced by it.
Fun stuff from earlier in my career, when I ran social at Product Hunt:
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."
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.
