MANAGING DIRECTOR
Kevin Riedl
Managing Director · Operations & Product
“People tend to start with the product. Which is why most fail.”
Background
Kevin founded Wavect in 2018. His side of the business is product, scope, and the customer call: the discovery work that decides whether a feature is worth building before any code gets written. He came up as an engineer, though. Coding since 13, still in the pull requests, across TypeScript, C# and Rust, and the FinTech-grade systems where a rounding error is a lawsuit. Product instincts forged across 100+ shipped products at Wavect, usually the hard way: in production, with real users. The job is making sure your product actually gets used.
Before Wavect, he ran his own startups (and invested in a few). He lectures at MCI Innsbruck on Blockchain, and together with Christof runs a free programme teaching kids aged 8 to 16 how software and money actually work.
He also founded and hosts a podcast: 96 curated episodes (the weak ones get deleted), sitting down with the kind of guests most shows can’t book: James Wo (founder of DFG, a $1B+ AUM crypto investment firm), Brett Johnson (once the US most-wanted cybercriminal), and $100M+ exited founders like Alexis Sikorsky and Anastasia Koroleva.
Off-screen: dances Salsa, trains Calisthenics and strength like it’s a second job, nerd by heart.
How to work with us
If your call needs the founder, not an account manager, you can book one directly.
Beyond the product calls
Strength training, calisthenics, travel, and trying the thing at least once. Kevin is currently learning a one-arm handstand, usually tests every remarkable viewpoint upside down, and saves the best adventures for his daughter.
