Matthias Depenbusch

I build products that have to work.

Matthias, Arlington VA

My career has been a series of bets on building. I co-founded Avisio, built it into an AI-driven procurement SaaS with seven-figure ARR across sixty plus enterprise customers, and shipped applied AI into production in one of the harder enterprise environments there is. Earlier I co-founded Appinio as Technical Co-Founder, where the platform I helped build has grown into one of the world's fastest market research panels with 1.5 million users.

Between those chapters I joined EY Parthenon as a strategy consultant, and earlier ran US operations for tink Holding out of Berlin and San Francisco. Today I advise early-stage teams on go-to-market strategy, product, and AI-driven analytics.
