Mitchell Opatowsky
Austin-based innovator focused on reducing execution risk.
I've always been exhilarated by disruptive technologies and witty product positioning. I love the challenge of helping teams hit way above their weight even in saturated markets.
I look for founders who are intrinsically motivated by being able to shift our paradigm.
Utilizing game theory & data analysis to secure market share.
The most innovative companies are not always the ones that are inventing new things—sometimes the blue market differentiation is in finding a flaw of distribution.
I specialize in helping founders utilize advanced analysis to achieve greater share.

He crushes dev, marketing, design, and fundraising."
