Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Weiksner is a serial founder and technology leader with 11+ years of startup experience building product-led businesses in gaming, media, and legal tech. As Founder & CTO of DragonGC and previously Founder & CEO of Pocketful of Quarters, he developed a patented Unity-verified SDK (CoinForge) that boosts retention across game portfolios and demonstrates deep product-to-platform thinking. He pairs academic rigor—a Stanford Ph.D. in Communication and Princeton CS background—with operator experience raising capital, launching consumer hits, and advising early-stage companies as a general partner at Rostrum Capital. Michael blends technical product instincts with business strategy and compliance savvy, and his career traces back to a childhood BBS obsession that still informs his focus on player engagement and networked experiences.
