About Matt
Hi, I’m Matt Brezina an entrepreneur from State College, Pennsylvania currently residing in San Francisco, CA.
I dropped out of grad school in the spring of 2006 to found an email software company called Xobni. Xobni is the word “inbox” spelled backwards. Our goal is to take back overloaded inboxes for our users by organizing their email around the people they communicate with. Our application for Microsoft Outlook has been downloaded over 3 Million times and was called “the next generation of social networking” by Bill Gates when he demoed our product on stage during his keynote at the 2008 Office Developer’s Conference.
I started Xobni with a buddy and former roomate Adam Smith. Xobni started as two guys in a dorm room at MIT. We’ve grown to over 27 employees, raised over $14M in venture capital, and we’ve appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and numerous other publications.
I’ll write more about my background in electrical engineering, early entrepreneurship, notable acomplishments, and other self indulging diatribes at some point soon…
