A couple of weeks back Patrick Hertzog was kind enough to open the doors of Nexthink, the company he co-founded, to curious students from EPFL and University of Lausanne - UNIL. It's so beautiful to see experienced entrepreneurs giving back to the younger generation and to hear how far an idea can go in 20 years. Spoiler: it can go as far as becoming an unicorn in Nexthink's case🫢. Big thanks to the EPFL-UNIL Entrepreneur Club for co-organising this event and for their great contribution to the ecosystem in the Lausanne region, you rock🤘.

This year Péter Fankhauser won the EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ Award Switzerland. With his startup ANYbotics he has been building cutting-edge industrial robots since 2016—company that now counts 250+ employees and raised CHF 70M. Last week, he joined us at ETH Student Project House to share his journey and learnings with a group of curious and ambitious students from ETH Zürich, right where his own journey began. Through an intimate fireside chat hosted by Matteo, we got to see a side of Péter that goes beyond that of an impressive founder: knowledgeable, open, transparent, and just genuinely cool. If Founderful Campus had its own Entrepreneur of the Year Award, we'd give it to Péter Fankhauser too!

🐕🦺 Did you spot this cool dog walking around the ETH Zürich campus? If yes, the good news is that we have invited his owner Péter Fankhauser, the founder of ANYbotics, for a Fireside Chat at ETH Student Project House next week. If not, the same thing applies. Come to our event on October 24th at 17:30. We promise the event will be cool. Not as cool at this industrial robot though. How cool is that??🥲.

Now it's time to grow, shape, and scale this initiative, but for that, we need a dynamic and creative doer. ARE YOU THE ONE? More information on the link in the comments🔗.
