Michael Arnold

Product Guy, Idealist, Gamer

This is my personal thinkpad to digest and reflect on my journey as a founder, product guy, and now programmer. I studied General Management at EBS in Germany and moved to San Francisco after my graduation to join an early stage startup called NeoReach. There, I learned a ton about startups, influencer marketing, inbound- and outbound marketing, and operations to run a small team.

After 1.5y at NeoReach, I decided to pack my bags and go back to Berlin to turn my esports passion into my own company. I've raised money from Bitkraft, hired a small team, and started the company PatronGG to give fan communities a home. We've built our very first product with the esports team Fnatic and it's live on the Play Store and App Store.

Fast forward, I've sold my shares and left my own company (long story, just ask me about it) to dive deeper into software development. I'm currently studying full stack Javascript at the coding bootcamp Code Chrysalis in Tokyo 🇯🇵
