Summary
Michael Schwanzer is a founder and CEO with 13 years of hands-on experience building SaaS, IoT and visual sensing platforms from idea to market. He started his first web product in grammar school, scaled a self-service site to 50,000 users and sold it to fund studies, later winning the CISCO Austria Award for a crowd-collaboration platform. After moving to Canada he led full-stack development for Emmy-recognized interactive TV at MegaphoneTV and now runs ZEITDICE, which builds smart timelapse cameras and an "Internet of Eyes" cloud to extract machine-learning signals from visual patterns for agriculture and construction. Comfortable across hardware, cloud services, and product strategy, he mixes entrepreneurial grit with deep engineering chops and a track record of turning constrained prototypes into production platforms. An atypical detail: he repeatedly leverages early-stage awards and accelerator programs to accelerate go-to-market traction while staying technical as a hands-on CEO.
