Michael Kamleitner

Michael Kamleitner is the founder and CEO of Walls.io, a social media content aggregator, and Swat.io, a social media management platform.

In 2008, while working as a software developer, Michael spotted an opportunity to start an agency specializing in Facebook app development.

A few years later, after seeing his clients struggle with managing their Facebook communities, he launched Swat.io to help solve the problem.

But finding his first 10 customers took nearly 2 years.

Around that time, a friend asked Michael to create a tool for aggregating and showcasing social media posts on TV screens at a co-working event.

Realizing its broader potential, Michael quickly turned the tool into another product called Walls.io soon after the event.

But growth was slow for both products. It took many years and a lot of hard work and persistence to get traction.

Then, the pandemic hit, causing big problems for Walls.io as live events suddenly stopped. Michael and his team had to quickly pivot to keep the product alive.

Although he believed he could handle everything, the challenge of running the agency and building two products eventually became too much for Michael.

That’s when he decided to focus mainly on Walls.io, realizing he had to use his time and energy better. And that decision paid off significantly.

Today, his two product companies together generate over $10M in revenue.
