I am really excited about partnering with Tom and the whole super{set} team. I first got to know Tom & Vivek at Microsoft when I was pitching BlueKai. For a few years after that we became fierce competitors (Krux vs BlueKai) but years later after LiveRamp acquired Habu, I got to know Tom and Vivek even better. I am a huge fan of both of them and also what they have built. And I was delighted when they asked me to join the team. What is even better, is that, given their investment and interest in Rembrand, they are aligned with my intense continued focus on growing Rembrand. That’s why I am excited to continue this journey with extremely capable yet firmly rooted and humble partners. Tom Chavez super{set} Rembrand

Omar and Tom leading by example! Witnessing the intense early competition between BlueKai and Krux, then seeing you come together to collaborate speaks volumes about your high agency and integrity. That’s what I love about this industry - you can build lasting friendships and relationships, despite going head to head for years. True role models!
The world needs VCs like Omar: product founders who have deep industry expertise, the creativity to explore ideas, the maturity to let leaders execute. Having served on the LiveRamp board with Omar I can say first hand that there is no one better to have at the table. And the other super{set} partners aren't half bad either!
Super(set) is even more "Super" now. Congratulations!

Such a special "coming together" of like-minded leaders and entrepreneurs, Omar Tawakol and Tom Chavez! Battle tested and hardened would be an understatement! Win-win for all involved with this news and look forward to big things with the Super{set} team! Jon Suarez-Davis (jsd)Vivek VaidyaDavid Wiener

There could be no greater endorsement of the work we’re doing at super{set} than your desire to join us and build alongside us. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish now that we’re finally on the same side of the table. LFG!
