Richard Schreiber

Richard Hans Schreiber studied Human Medicine and Physics at the University of Heidelberg before moving to the University of Tübingen for his PhD and an MBA. Somewhere between medicine, physics, and machine learning, he caught the startup bug — and founded his first companies while still working on his doctorate.
Since 2024, Richard has been advising the German Chamber of Commerce (IHK) and its member companies on AI strategy and implementation. In 2025, he co-founded Tabularis.AI, a machine learning research spin-off from the University of Tübingen, where he serves as CEO.
At Tabularis, Richard and his team believe the future of AI is efficient, independent, and often local. They train their own language models and develop new architectures for the next generation of AI — built on a contrarian conviction: most production use cases don't need today's massive, expensive frontier transformers. They can run faster, cheaper, and entirely on the user's own hardware.
