VENTURE PARTNER & FASHIONTECH FOUNDER
Linette Manuel is a founder, technologist, and educator on a mission to bridge the gap between technology and humanity. Her path runs from computer science and Applied Informatics at the Prague University of Economics and Business, through a developer-advocacy and conversational-AI career at IBM, DNAi, and Born Digital, into a postgraduate Fabricademy program at the intersection of digital fabrication, textiles, and biology. As Founder & CEO of Makeful, she is reshaping STEAM education through 3D-printed FashionTech — giving teachers and students hands-on tools to design garments that couldn't exist before, and giving more girls a reason to fall in love with technology. She is also Co-Founder of SuperCreators, turning children from passive consumers into confident creators. At Metamatics Ventures, Linette serves as a Venture Partner, bringing deep expertise in EdTech, FashionTech, conversational AI, and founder-led venture building to the portfolio.
