Michael Schneider

I'm Michael, exited founder turned venture partner, scout, and fundraising advisor based in Vienna. I work with Seedraisr, AustrianStartups, and a few VC firms where I scout deals, advise founders on fundraising, and run Seedraisr's fundraising and deal-flow services. Previously I built startups including Leichtgemacht, Break Stuff AI, Chilibox Entertainment, and held operator roles across growth and operations. I mentor at programs like Techstars, Tech2Impact, and Founder Institute and collaborate with family offices and VCs on curated deal flow.

And my hot take is founders talk too much about product-market fit and not enough about actually selling.
