About Mathias Schilling

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.

Headline operates a proprietary "technology operating system" (EVA + ATHENA) that systematically scrapes, scores, and tracks 10M+ startups, then underwrites them with company data in seconds—building a defensible data moat with over 10 years of granular longitudinal data on essentially every startup they track worldwide. The firm runs an explicit "local-to-global" model with fully autonomous, region-specific early-stage funds across the US, Europe, Brazil/LatAm, and Asia that invest with local teams, then band together via shared technology to help winners internationalize through a single global growth platform.
