about
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.

I would be really interested in real life throughput. For an agentic chat situation, we are still on 5.4 - not because of the cost, but it's simply much faster than 5.5 with comparable results. A…

It took me a while until I found that you can switch between those two parts Work and Codex within the app on the left top corner when clicking on "ChatGPT Codex". And then - nothing happens…

If the EU just were to redirect the resources they're currently allocating to regulations like AI and Chat Control rather towards developing a genuinely competitive OpenAI or Anthropic alternativ…

A UG and and a GmbH is legal-wise exactly the same.

As much as I would like to agree with you about how non-digitized and rotten and crooked the whole notary etc system is - as someone who has incorporated and invested in dozens of German companies (UG…

It's hard to take the author seriously technically competent when reading "DynamoDB what a hot pile of garbage. I tried it and ended up with a $75USD bill by the end of the day." Clearl…

I have a pre-installed pool heat pump - an “AcquaSource” branded unit, the kind you can buy at any pool store in Europe - which supports WiFi. The App called “Pool Panel” wasn’t pretty, but it worked …

And I suppose people flying an 40 year old Cessna 172 will share the same feeling if someone wants to "digitize" it.
comment
How would you exactly "digitize"? While that sounds like a nice idea in theory it's the same as "digitizing" road traffic. In the end the air traffic system is a highly comple…

Funny that they apparently didn't include South Beach, at least according to the map.

Engine-wise, yeah, it has the power. But try it, that's not something you really want to do.

My point is, just from my perspective (YMMV), the Porsche cars are pretty perfect. I have a hard time finding a car which behaves more precisely and reliably on the street, regardless of the speed, th…

Not really, I usually don't carry them out at Porsche itself, only the regular inspections.

That is not my personal experience. I get very often those cars of those other major German brands at SIXT car rental, and of course this is my personal opinion: - BMW is indeed very nice, I agree. I …

Being a customer for years, I have to politely disagree. Design is obviously a totally personal matter of taste, but as they have made many iconic shapes, apparently they're in the broad opinion …
comment
Totally agreed. It is beyond understanding why you would even pay extra to get these sounds. The heavenly silence is one of the great advantages of an EV in my opinion.

Codex CLI can run as MCP server ootb which you can call directly from Claude code. Together with a prompt to ask codex for a second opinion, that works very well for me, especially in code reviews.

That advice also serves INHO well regarding angel investments and potential secondaries. If you made some x in a short time, take the money and run and leave the risk to institutional VCs who are not …
