Hi, I am Thomas Witt - a tech entrepreneur & angel investor.

I’m back in founder mode, building Vendis.ai (https://vendis.ai/), a category-redefining AI-native CRM while still backing deep-tech founders through Expedite Ventures.

Coding since age 8 and connected to the internet since ’90, I co-founded my first software company straight out of high school (’97) and, as CTO, built award-winning B2B platforms that served tens of thousands of customers.

Tech Stack: Ruby on Rails since ’09, AWS since ’10, knee-deep in AI for the past five years.

Expedite Ventures is a crew of CTOs/CPOs investing and mentoring at pre-seed, leveraging our network and decades of collective expertise. Got something ambitious? Read our playbook at https://expedite.ventures/playbook

When the screens dim you’ll find me making music, flying, sailing, behind a lens, or in the kitchen.
