Michael Schwanzer

Michael built his first Software as a Service (SaaS) platform during grammar school in rural Austria. He grew the business to 50,000 users and sold it before graduating from college to finance his academic studies in the UK. During his computer science studies he launched openIdeas, a crowd collaboration platform that won the prestigious CISCO Austria Award in Vienna.

After immigrating to Canada in 2011, Michael started freelancing in Toronto and eventually joined New York City based MegaphoneTV as a Senior Developer to implement an Interactive TV SaaS platform now used by Emmy winning programs.

ZEITDICE INC. was founded in late 2015 with the mission to to enable machine learning from visually recognizable patterns and suggest more efficient processes. The startup immediately got accepted into the Creative Destruction Lab’s 4th Cohort and the CFC Media Lab’s IDEABOOST Network Connect program. Michael is also an alumni of the NEXT Founders program.
