Matt Sapero’s Experience

Co-Founder & Creative Director

CryptoPix LLC

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Wireless industry)

April 2008 — Present (1 year 4 months)

Believe the hype. We've created THE killer app for mobile messaging/content and social networks. Seriously. We're in stealth mode so contact me for details and partnership/investment opportunities.
Webmaster/Webcaster

Team Atlantis

(Wireless industry)

1998 — Present (11 years)

This is the underwater archaeological research team that I co-founded with Mike Arbuthnot, a modern day Indiana Jones. So far, our adventures have taken us to Yonaguni, Japan's underwater monument, Chichen Itza and other previously unexplored regions of the Yucatan, and the mysterious Long Rocks off Cat Island, Bahamas. In addition I've traveled to over 25 countries exploring mankind's lost history from Newgrange in Ireland to secret passageways beneath Jerusalem and the secret pyramids of China.
Artist/Label Business Development

Txttunes

(Wireless industry)

April 2008 — December 2008 (9 months)

Currently, I'm providing business development and artist relations, as well as helping record labels and their artists launch groundbreaking braggable flash widgets for websites and social networks. These widgets allow fans to purchase full-length Mp3s and digital albums for their Ipod/PC while paying with a simple premium text message. This is a breakthrough approach as no credit card is required, thus reaching crucial and previously untapped demographics. Contact me directly to discuss business and investment opportunities.
Talent Scout

WirelessDeveloper Agency

(Wireless industry)

2002 — March 2008 (6 years)

I personally scouted and signed hundreds of top artists, photographers, animators, record labels, video producers, application creators, mobile channels, and the top ringtone producer in America. The artists I scouted and signed dominate the top mobile wallpaper rankings on the decks of wireless network operators and portals throughout North America.
Creative Director

Wicked Wireless

(Wireless industry)

2002 — 2003 (1 year)

I designed cutting edge mobile music fan clubs for the BREW platform incorporating the full range of mobile content as well as karaoke, quiz games, and mobile video blogging, pretty much before there was such a thing.
Strategic Director

HIPnTASTY

(Wireless industry)

2000 — 2002 (2 years)

At HIPnTASTY I created prototypes of mobile video games and applications (Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle, etc) back in the day when we had to demo them on PocketPCs since cell phones back then just couldn't cut it. I designed a location-based mobile scavenger hunt game engine called Mobile Hunt. On 9/11 our building was partially destroyed, but thank G-d everyone got out ok.
