About thomas_witt

Hi, I am Thomas Witt - a tech entrepreneur & angel investor.

I’m back in founder mode, building Vendis.ai (https://vendis.ai/), a category-redefining AI-native CRM while still backing deep-tech founders through Expedite Ventures.

Coding since age 8 and connected to the internet since ’90, I co-founded my first software company straight out of high school (’97) and, as CTO, built award-winning B2B platforms that served tens of thousands of customers.

Tech Stack: Ruby on Rails since ’09, AWS since ’10, knee-deep in AI for the past five years.

Expedite Ventures is a crew of CTOs/CPOs investing and mentoring at pre-seed, leveraging our network and decades of collective expertise. Got something ambitious? Read our playbook at https://expedite.ventures/playbook

When the screens dim you’ll find me making music, flying, sailing, behind a lens, or in the kitchen.

    The 25kEUR requirement has been lowered a few years ago to €12,5k as required paid-in capital.

    As much as I would like to agree with you about how non-digitized and rotten and crooked the whole notary etc system is - as someone who has incorporated and invested in dozens of …

    I have a pre-installed pool heat pump - an “AcquaSource” branded unit, the kind you can buy at any pool store in Europe - which supports WiFi. The App called “Pool Panel” wasn’t pr…

    And I suppose people flying an 40 year old Cessna 172 will share the same feeling if someone wants to "digitize" it.

    How would you exactly "digitize"? While that sounds like a nice idea in theory it's the same as "digitizing" road traffic. In the end the air traffic system is a highly complex but…

    Funny that they apparently didn't include South Beach, at least according to the map.

    Engine-wise, yeah, it has the power. But try it, that's not something you really want to do.

    My point is, just from my perspective (YMMV), the Porsche cars are pretty perfect. I have a hard time finding a car which behaves more precisely and reliably on the street, regardl…

    Not really, I usually don't carry them out at Porsche itself, only the regular inspections.

    That is not my personal experience. I get very often those cars of those other major German brands at SIXT car rental, and of course this is my personal opinion: - BMW is indeed ve…
