Background

About Liam Obrien

I first discovered the exciting world of startups as a high school senior — and I was instantly hooked. After a year of college, I took a gap year and a half to work in Brazil at a fund management firm and a market-entry startup. That experience sparked a passion for building (and a love for bossa nova), which motivated me to finish my college career with a fresh perspective, so I could be more effective in turning ideas into real-world impact. While completing my degree, I co-founded Oddity, a filmmaking and advertising company, where I led business growth and production efforts. At the same time, I worked part-time at my city’s coworking space, immersing myself further in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through Oddity and other projects, I fell in love with consultative sales — especially the challenge of identifying and solving real organizational problems. That interest led me to ADP where I partnered with clients to help them strategically leverage technology to streamline their HR operations. Today, I get to blend my passions for startups, video, and consulting at Capsule — a startup building a video editing platform that helps enterprise teams scale content production without sacrificing brand quality or consistency.
