OpenAI has hired the co-founder of Twitter challenger Pebble
Gabor Cselle, the former CEO and co-founder of X challenger Pebble, has joined OpenAI to work on a secretive project.
Gabor Cselle, the former CEO and co-founder of Pebble (a competitor to X), has joined OpenAI to work on a secretive project.
Cselle has been employed at OpenAI since October, according to LinkedIn, but he announced the news in a post on X only yesterday. “Will share more about what I’m working on in due time,” he wrote. “Learning a lot already.”
Cselle is a repeat founder who sold his first company, a Y Combinator-backed mobile email startup called reMail, to Google. His second company, native advertising startup Namo Media, sold to Twitter before Elon Musk purchased the social network and rebranded it to X.
Nearly a decade ago, Cselle worked at Twitter as a group product manager, focusing on the home timeline, user on-boarding and logged-out experiences. He left Twitter in 2016 for Google, where he was director at the tech giant’s Area 120 incubator for spin-offs.
