CEO & Founder, Help Scout

Nick has been starting businesses since he was 15. He sees entrepreneurship as an opportunity to get outside his comfort zone daily, learn at a high velocity, have a big impact, and have a lot of fun.

He loves building products that work for small businesses, but is just as passionate about remote work, DEI, and refactoring capitalism. He believes a company can only fulfill its market potential by balancing profit and purpose – leaving customers, employees, shareholders, their community, and the environment better off.

He lives in Boulder, CO with wife Anastasia and dog Elvis.
