Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolHouman Shadab is a cofounder and ecosystem leader based in New York who blends legal training with deep product and platform experience to commercialize privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure. He leads NovaNet.xyz at ICME, building a decentralized zero-knowledge proof network for verifiable compute, privacy, and scaling, while also heading Stanford CodeX’s ZK cryptography initiative and advising policymakers through Coin Center. Previously he cofounded Clause.io (acquired by DocuSign), where he raised venture financing and scaled a product team to deliver industry-first smart legal contract tooling. He spent over a decade at the intersection of law, tech, and education as a law professor and director of an innovation center, launching student-led legaltech and fintech projects with corporate partners like Microsoft. Comfortable moving between research, regulation, and product delivery, he combines courtroom-caliber analytical rigor with startup execution chops. An interesting through-line: he leverages his JD and policy experience to make complex cryptography and compliance practicable for commercial adoption.
