Co-Founder / CEO

KYD LABS

Ahmed Nimale is the Co-Founder and CEO of KYD Labs, the world’s largest on-chain ticketing platform reimagining how fans, venues, and artists connect. A former product leader at Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and Vivid Seats, Ahmed brings deep industry experience into the crypto space—bridging Web2 scale with Web3 innovation.

Under his leadership, KYD became the first web3 music team to take a major U.S. concert venue fully on-chain. Since then, KYD has powered millions in revenue for artists and venues while unlocking entirely new rails for fan relationships, payments, and on-chain identity.

Called “the bleeding edge of music and entertainment technology” by Rolling Stone editor Bob Lefsetz, KYD is live in-market with real fans, real dollars, and major venues transacting fully on-chain. Backed by top investors, the team is building the core infrastructure for how culture and commerce move in a decentralized world.
