Hi, I'm Hussein. A builder who opens doors.

Builder, convener, gives first. Two decades building real things, and still setting up the chairs every month in North County San Diego.

Two decades as the product-and-technology person in the room as a CTO, CIO, or founding product director. I scaled a fintech platform's funding from $50m to $450m a month, built and sold my last company, and launched the first ever patented tech to price and sell solar panels.

These days I'm building Eventship and hosting North County's monthly startup mixer. When I'm not, I'm enjoying life in Encinitas with my wife and three kids.

Come to the next one.

Once a month I get a room full of founders, operators, and people who make things in North County. No pitch contest, no name-tag networking. Just good company and a drink. Here's the next one.

There's a quieter room, too.

The mixer is open to everyone. For a small group, I run an invite-only membership: private events I host, first dibs on the public mixer, and the occasional thing I only share here. No tiers, no upsell. Just a closer circle.

  • Private events I host, members only — Founder dinners and small salons, off the public calendar.
  • Priority RSVP to every public mixer — You get in before it opens to the list.
  • Intros and writing I keep off the feed — The occasional introduction or note, just for members.

How I ended up here.

For twenty years I've been the product and technology person in the room. CTO, CIO, chief experience officer, founding product director. I've built and led 40-person teams, scaled a fintech platform's funding from $50M to $450M a month, and taken products from a blank page to real revenue. I know how companies get built because I've done the unglamorous parts. I'm a repeat founder with a few exits. I built Money Minx, a net-worth platform that tracked over $500M in assets across 64 countries, earned TechCrunch coverage, and was acquired by Arta Finance, where I joined the founding product team and shipped things like a live AI investment specialist. Earlier: AppSplit, one of the first app crowdfunding platforms, and DiamPrice, a mobile diamond appraisal tool. Both acquired. Now I'm…

  • Eventship — Platform for recurring, in-person communities.
  • Arta Finance — Consumer investing and AI-native money experiences.
  • Money Minx — $500M+ net worth tracked across 64 countries. TechCrunch.
  • eCapital — Scaled funding volume from $50M to $450M a month.
  • OneRoof Energy — Built the product org from 1 to 30 people.
  • LPL Financial — Delivered a $45M to $65M annual technology portfolio.

The mixer became the company.

Hosting the mixer is what made me build Eventship. It's how I run every event now: one page for the details, RSVPs, and the guest list. I'm building it for anyone who gets people in a room.
