I'm Tom Schwiha, entrepreneur, builder, and founder of Schwiha GmbH. I created Schwiha.ai to give European teams world-class AI without compromising on data sovereignty.
I founded Schwiha GmbH in Augsburg, Germany with a clear belief: European companies deserve the best AI tools in the world, without having to send their data to the United States.
My flagship product, Schwiha.ai, is an AI workspace platform used by over 200 teams across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. It gives teams access to GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and other frontier models in a single interface, fully hosted on EU infrastructure, GDPR-compliant by default.
"Privacy and performance are not a trade-off." That's the thesis behind everything I build.
Before building Schwiha.ai, I spent years working with enterprises across the DACH region on software and digital transformation. I understand both the technical depth and the organizational reality of bringing AI into a company.
I'm based in Augsburg, Bavaria, and deeply committed to building technology that reflects European values of privacy, transparency, and trust.
Founded and lead Schwiha GmbH, building Schwiha.ai, the AI workspace for European teams. Raised €2M seed round, grew to 200+ enterprise customers across DACH and Benelux. Responsible for product vision, engineering direction, go-to-market, and investor relations.
