Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCharlotte Schmitt is a founder and operator who builds product-led startups at the intersection of community and SaaS, currently leading Octolens as Co-Founder & CEO to deliver AI-driven social listening for B2B brands. Previously she scaled operations and strategy at crowd.dev—helping centralize community, product, and customer data at a company later acquired by The Linux Foundation—and co-founded SaveSpace, a Techstars-backed startup modernizing urban storage. With a background in management consulting and marketing, she combines rigorous go-to-market thinking with hands-on product development and growth execution. Based in Zurich and educated at ESCP and Goethe University, she’s comfortable moving between early-stage build, investor engagement, and operational scaling. An understated strength is her pattern of turning community signals into prioritized revenue opportunities, making technical and commercial teams speak the same language.
