Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Stebel is an experienced founder and product-focused developer with 11+ years in software and a career spanning leadership roles from COO to CEO across startups and enterprise divisions. As founder and lead developer of Mandelbrot Metal he blends deep technical craft—pushing Apple graphics and real-time rendering—with a designer’s eye for immersive math-driven apps. He also advises SaaS and growth-stage companies on product strategy, lean startup practices, and customer-centered growth, drawing on hands-on experience transitioning businesses to scalable SaaS models. Previously he led operations and product transformation at QQSolutions, driving double-digit SaaS growth and a successful exit, and has a long track record of turning turnaround situations into profitable, sellable companies. Based in Delray Beach, he pairs technical depth (MS in Computer Science) with strategic rigor from an MBA in operations research, making him equally at home shipping code or shaping go-to-market strategy. An interesting throughline: his work repeatedly connects advanced technology, practical productization, and creative expression—most visibly in a fractal-rendering app that turns abstract math into a consumer experience.
