Founder & Managing Director at Builders
1 person tracking this creator on ViralBrain
Michael van Lier positions himself as a high-octane venture architect who bridges the gap between raw founder grit and the technical frontier of agent-first intelligence. His content strategy centers on the "builder" ethos, moving beyond AI hype to focus on operational transparency, the "scars" of scaling, and the visceral reality of shipping products in a studio environment. Michael is notable for his unfiltered, high-velocity narrative style that treats venture building as an endurance sport, often using metaphors from racing and physical training to illustrate the "gut feel" required in leadership. By intersecting venture studio playbooks with aggressive AI implementation, he offers a unique value proposition: he isn't just theorizing about the future of work; he is actively dismantling legacy models to build a more autonomous, intelligence-driven ecosystem.

Yesterday we hosted Bibi Jorissen at Investor House. The headline that most people miss: umob acquired a company that raised €70M that built the world's first Mobility-as-a-Service platform, and went…

Why I invested in a festival I don’t attend. Shocker, I know.. First off, if you know me, you know by now that at many festival-like tech events I rarely get beyond 20 steps of the entrance and the f…

5 days. 27 people. 0 plan. We flew to South Africa to build 5 AI companies from scratch. My first thought? Really? When Marleen asked me and Sharon to join, Sharon got me all-in within minutes. No a…
Entrepreneurship. Inspiring, hard, beautiful, loved, hated. A silent war most people quit just before they'd have won. Rarely celebrated with this amount of grace and thoughtfulness. What the hell di…

I sometimes get the question how I went from entrepreneur to investor. Here’s the honest answer - in 5 minutes. You win some, you loose some! Thanks to Builders, Michael van Lier and Sharon Klaver

The math of the modern studio is broken.
You can’t just throw engineers at a problem and hope a product pops out the other side anymore. Not in the age of the agent.
We spent the last forty-eight hours locked in the war room with the team, ripping apart our own thesis. Why? Because if you aren't willing to kill your darlings, the market will do it for you. And it won't be polite about it.

The bottleneck isn't the code. It's the conviction. Most founders are staring at a dashboard waiting for the data to tell them what to do. But the data is lagging, and the agents are already moving.
That’s why we’re doubling down on VSI. It’s not about more charts. It’s about shortening the gap between "I think" and "I know."
It’s been a long week. A lot of coffee, a few f*ed up deployments, and a lot of "aha" moments that only happen at 2 AM when the rest of the world is quiet. Julia and Darko are still at it.. absolute animals.

If you’re building something that feels a little bit on fire, we should talk. We’re looking for two more founders for Batch 0 who don't need a map, just a compass.
LFG 🚀
Cheers, your friends at Builders 🖖
