Nick Huzar, CEO and Co-Founder, OfferUp
Nick Huzar is co-founder and CEO of OfferUp, a Seattle-based unicorn and the largest mobile marketplace for local buyers and sellers in the U.S. As a new father, he realized a massive opportunity in the mobile marketplace when he needed to sell his belongings to make room for his newborn, with very limited online options. A pioneer in reinventing local commerce, Nick revolutionized the industry and launched OfferUp in 2011 to create the simplest, most trustworthy way for people to buy and sell in their communities. With more than 90 million downloads, OfferUp has become a top three lifestyle shopping app in the U.S. with 44 million annual users. Nick holds a B.A. in Management Information Systems from Washington State University. Earlier this year, OfferUp announced its $120M investment led by OLX and its acquisition of LetGo.
