Episode 18 - From Engineer to Investor: Michael Supeck on Building, Fundraising, and Startup Growth

What happens when an engineer starts asking why beyond the code?

In this episode, Michael Supeck (Ohio Angel Collective) shares his journey from building startups to funding them and what actually separates founders who grow from those who stall. The conversation explores the shift from engineering to entrepreneurship, how systems thinking shapes better decisions, and what’s changing as GenAI redefines how software is built.

We also get into what investors really look for in early-stage founders and why ecosystems like Ohio are gaining momentum.

What we cover
