Funding Felt: Why to invest, according to Marcel

The technical side of Felt is developed and maintained by Marcel Weber, a software developer who stepped up as Felt’s chief technical officer in 2008. Marcel’s craft is code – he endeavours to make Felt as elegant and well-crafted as the products it represents. His ultimate superpower is evading tricky questions, but he is also epic at software and web development, HTML, CSS, and software architecture. The curator of an extensive board game collection, Marcel has a keen sense of strategy and should never be trusted in a game of Werewolf. Find out why you should invest, according to Marcel…
