About Jonathan Userovici
Mathias Schilling co-founded Headline by importing Sand Hill Road-style venture capital to Germany before moving to California in his 20s, deliberately choosing Santa Barbara over Silicon Valley to maintain an outsider perspective on how VC should work. Over 15 years, he has built an unusually sophisticated tech and data engine within the firm, assembling a 20-engineer team and internal database covering 8 million companies that uses signal processing and AI to identify early hyper-growth opportunities with hedge fund-like repeatability.
