Just do it! 🚀 – Eine Postkarte aus dem Silicon Valley 🌟📮 Nein, wir waren nicht bei Nike, aber genau dieses Mindset haben wir hier im Silicon Valley hautnah erlebt. Unser Study Trip war voller Inspiration, spannender Unternehmensbesuche und einzigartiger Einblicke in das Valley-Mindset.💡🌍 «Be flexible!» lautete ein weiteres Motto - und so war zunächst nicht klar, welche Unternehmen auf dem Programm stehen würden. Das absolute Highlight? Die Pitches! Eigene Startup-Ideen oder bestehende Cases wurden direkt vor Venture Capitalists präsentiert – eine Erfahrung, die sicher lange in Erinnerung bleibt. 🎤💼 Tipps gegen Präsentationsangst, Eindrücke aus dem Robotaxi und mehr über die Qualitätsstandards in den USA findest du im neuesten Blogbeitrag: https://lnkd.in/dHWaniXH ✨📖 Ein riesiges Dankeschön geht an Sebastian Früh und Rahel Haymoz für die Organisation, an Alexander Fries und Patrick Blumenthal für die Betreuung und an die vielen inspirierenden Unternehmen und Persönlichkeiten wie Autodesk, Stanford University, Kindred, Swissnex in San Francisco, Swiss Business Hub USA, CarIQ, Marie-Astrid Langer, Tsecond Inc., Swisscom Outpost Silicon Valley, Jeff Cabili und Plug and Play Tech Center. 🙌🌟 Ihr habt den Study Trip ins Silicon Valley zu einem unvergesslichen Abenteuer gemacht! 🚀✨ Liebe Grüsse aus der Innovationshochburg, Marco 🏰✨🌉

THINK BIG! That's the Silicon Valley mindset! 🧠 As part of our study trip with FHGR Digital Business Management, we had the chance to experience Silicon Valley and its innovative power up close - a week full of insights into startup financing, innovation management and more!

🏠 Kindred: A home-swapping platform as an exciting alternative to traditional accommodations, presented by Tasneem Amina who gave us insights into Kindred’s journey and vision.

🇨🇭Swissnex: The bridge between Switzerland and Silicon Valley - Swissnex opens doors to the tech world's network for Swiss startups.
 💾 Tsecond Inc.: Innovators in fast, secure, and always-available storage for massive data volumes. Co-founders Manavalan Krishnan and Sahil Chawla introduced Bryck - a high-density, high-speed storage solution born from their passion.

🚗 CarIQ: Smart cars that pay by themselves? CarIQ makes it possible - cars autonomously pay for fuel and more. Another highlight was the tour of Stanford University and an inspiring lecture by instructor Jeff Cabili on effective nonverbal communication - valuable tips to take with us on our journey.🗣️ The networking events were especially enriching, allowing us to learn from founders and innovators who are passionate about the technologies of tomorrow. 🧑💻🤝 A proud moment was the chance to present our startup at the Plug and Play Tech Center! Together with my amazing team members, Chantal Teixeira and Christelle Tchuissé we pitched our project and received valuable feedback - a unique experience that gave us a huge boost. 🙌 Many thanks to Alexander Fries and Patrick Blumenthal, who shared their knowledge and experience throughout the week.
