Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOliver Sauter is a founder and full-stack software entrepreneur based in Berlin with a decade of experience building products that combat misinformation and surface high-quality content. He created WorldBrain (Memex) — an open-source browser-based search, annotation, and recommendation engine that reached 10,000 prototype users and attracted contributions through programs like Google Summer of Code. Comfortable spanning user research, product design, communications and engineering, he ships UI and backend changes himself (notably in the Memex extension’s React/TypeScript auth and sync flows). His work blends community development and evidence-driven product strategy to help people evaluate and exchange trustworthy perspectives online. Previously he founded Eventport and led UX/product efforts in agencies, bringing both startup grit and rigorous user-centered workflows to long-term projects. He’s also a peanut-butter enthusiast who’s been tackling fake news since before it was a buzzword.
