This night kicks off with a conversation exploring entrepreneurship as a first career step: Why do some people choose to build a company instead of following a traditional career path, and what becomes more possible when you start early?

After a discussion between experienced founders and representatives from university accelerators, we’ll showcase seven first-time, early-stage founders from Switzerland’s leading technical university, ETH Zurich.

They are taking the leap to build their own companies and put their ideas in front of fellow founders and the wider San Francisco startup community.

Meet the founders behind:

Mano Games – Leveling up education for teenagers.

Frameway – AI-native video editing platform.

Robinreal – AI-powered real estate, from search to contract.

Softletics- Redefining Prosthetic Fit.

Cartorga- AI-powered enterprise visibility for leadership.

RAROG – Detection system for saving lives.

Perlin.bio – Chemical manufacturing w/ de novo designed enzymes.
