Schedl writes publicly about backing teams that use AI to solve real, high-impact problems. His Omnifact announcement says he looks for founders who tackle hard constraints holding industries back. Omnifact works on AI deployment for European companies in regulated sectors, where GDPR and data protection requirements slow adoption.
On a more recent seed investment, he listed three criteria: a clear and urgent problem, a tangible productivity uplift, and a scalable AI application in a large B2B market. He also named the team as a factor, citing serial founder experience combined with German Mittelstand expertise. He says he uses AI in his own work for strategy, decision support, research and productivity.
His public posts describe seed investments in applied AI aimed at B2B markets. They mention regulated European industries and the German Mittelstand. Check size, fund size and any formal investment thesis are not public.
