Nathan has no fancy background. He doesn't have 20+ years of background in the social space because he's 22. He doesn't have a fancy MBA or PHD because he dropped out of school after making a $700.00 sale on Facebook from his cold dorm room. What Nathan does have is an extremely unconventional way of leveraging Facebook for business. It started when he auctioned himself off on a Facebook tab for 2k. He's now co-founded a software company called Lujure that has helped over 60,000 small businesses leverage Facebook for profit.

Providing online merchants with the ability to export online stores and have them automatically migrated to Facebook, where it all happens, and where Facebook commerce should happen too, got to him.
