Summary
Benjamin Mateev is a founder and engineering-first product leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling consumer products and teams, from a profitable dev agency he ran while studying CS to Wunderlist (scaled to 32M users and acquired by Microsoft) and product strategy at Microsoft touching 1B+ users. He co-founded and led informed, raising €6M, negotiating partnerships with top publishers, and merging into a US media company while remaining hands-on with LLMs since GPT-2. Benjamin’s edge is credibility with engineers—he still codes and designs architectures—combined with operator experience running P&Ls, fundraising, and mentoring startups at Solve‑MIT and Techstars. He now codifies that experience through Supercharged, delivering practical AI workshops that turn concepts into production-ready automations within days. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly thrives in early-stage, cross-domain contexts, shipping fast by turning unfamiliar problem spaces into repeatable product patterns.
