Jordi Montserrat hat dies geteiltAfter many years building Venturelab, Venture Kick and more, I think this is the opportunity of a lifetime! I will be joining the cohort of candidates, please let me know what you think should be the priorities to address, I will make sure to present them at the job interview! #SwissStartupsJordi Montserrat hat dies geteilt𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙯𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧! Today, the Swiss Federal Council announced a role aimed at improving conditions for innovative young companies and giving founders a direct voice at the highest political level. The Startup Minister will focus on: 💻 Accelerating digitalization of administrative processes 🎓 Improving access to entrepreneurial education nationwide 🌐 Promoting Switzerland as a hub for science-based innovation 🤝 Coordinating with programs, universities, and private partners to support startups from idea to international scale-up Some of the proposed objectives are ambitious, reducing "time spent on forms per founder" by 95%, ensuring every entrepreneur can open a company bank account before their coffee gets cold, and introducing a national "printer does not jam" standard for grant applications. At Venturelab, we would welcome such a position. Until then, we continue supporting entrepreneurs through our programs, training, and international exposure, helping founders have a strong voice in the Swiss startup scene. 👉 Application is closed! ***** A quick note on this post: Our search for a “Startup Minister” was, of course, just an April Fools’ joke. Our commitment to a strong Swiss startup ecosystem and better framework conditions certainly isn’t 🙂 #SwissStartups #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Venturelab

Jordi Montserrat gefällt dasJordi Montserrat gefällt das🎉 nu glass turns 4! Four years ago, we had one conviction: glass could redefine indoor connectivity. Today, that conviction is stronger than ever. When we started nu glass, we were a small Swiss team with a laser, a lot of glass to treat, and one obsession: making trains & buildings smarter without compromising on energy or aesthetics. We didn't imagine that 4 years later, over 110 million passengers would benefit from our technology every year across Europe, most of them without even noticing. Which, honestly, is exactly how good infrastructure should work. We've stayed true to what matters to us, Quality, Safety, Environement: zero watts consumed to bring signal indoors, trees planted, ISO certifications earned, and a technology that keeps pushing further with every single window we treat. Recognition from Région de Nyon, Venturelab & EY along the way reminded us we were on the right track, and make us realize, what truly matter is the trust, our clients and partners, place in us every single day. SBB CFF FFS Swisscom Salt Mobile SA Sunrise, Alstom Groupe SNCF This anniversary feels like a good moment to say thank you,to everyone who, near or far and especially to our team who shows up every day to make the impossible happen. Here's to what's next. 🚀 #IndoorConnectivity #Innovation #GreenTech #Switzerland #Europe

Jordi Montserrat gefällt dasJordi Montserrat gefällt dasSometimes life gives you the most unexpected gifts. Last week, just 3 hours before Venturelab EPFL Startup Seed Night at EPFL, I got a call: a spot had opened up and the organiser, Calimna Sladic, thought of CaptuREE. I had 2 hours to prepare a pitch and get ready to roll in front of over 300 investors. I was nervous, grateful, and running on pure excitement. What made the evening so special wasn't just pitching: it was the warmth of the whole community. So many brilliant founders on that stage, all sharing something they truly believe in. That kind of energy is rare and I soaked up every second of it. And somehow, CaptuREE won the group pitch and made it to the finals. I'm still a little stunned, honestly. But more than anything I'm just deeply grateful: to VentureLab for the trust, to EPFL for creating a space where this kind of magic happens, and to everyone I got to meet that night. Deep thank you to my partner in crime, Julien Vujevic Martinez, who as always showed extreme love and support to me in this last-minute adventure. Here's to building things that matter, together. #CaptuREE #VentureLab #EPFL #Entrepreneurship #SeedNight
