Drones and their usage are definitely an endless source of inspiration for many entrepreneurs as well as investors. To learn more about the future of drones, the building of a team in the Ukraine and the investor landscape in Switzerland, Cédric visited Microsoft offices and had a refreshing conversation with Martin Fuchsberger, CEO & co-founder of Drone Harmony.

Fuchsberger is a Computing Science PhD holder and an entrepreneurship enthusiast. After completing his studies in ETH in Zurich, he spent more than two years working for Swiss Federal Railways (@sbb.cff.ffs.ch) on the improvement of the rail traffic management system efficiency. For the same purpose he collaborated with Deutsche Bahn, and two years ago decided to move his career into the startup direction. After concluding that the corporate world was not as fast in doing innovation as he would have liked it to be, Fuchsberger decided to start a company with his two colleagues.

To get an insight into the development of the digital payment process, Cédric travelled to Bern and met with Thierry Kneissler, CEO at Twint AG. The main topics they discuss in this interview are the future of financial transactions, the collaboration between the world’s biggest banks and how innovative Switzerland actually is.

Thierry Kneissler built an impressive career in the banking industry. He studied Economics at the University of Bern and completed an MBA programme at the University of St.Gallen. After working for Post Finance for 11 years, Kneissler started leading Twint in 2014. What fascinates him the most about running a fintech startup is the opportunity to make changes and shape the future of the payment process.

Twint AG develops innovative digital solutions in the Swiss financial sector. Twint app was a product of collaboration between two major Swiss fintech initiatives: Twint (supported by PostFinance) and Paymate. The idea soon gathered the biggest Swiss banks: UBS, Raiffeisen, Credit Suisse, PostFinance, Zurich Cantonal Bank and BCV. Nowadays, Twint app represents the digital cash of Switzerland and allows their users to benefit from quick money transactions. Watch the video below to find out more!

To learn about the innovation in MedTech industry, Cédric travelled to Bern and conducted a must-see interview with Carlos Ciller, CEO & co-founder of RetinAI. In this episode, we are discovering how AI can be applied to healthcare and what are the current trends in ophthalmology.

Carlos Ciller is a PhD holder in Machine Learning & Medical Imaging in Ophthalmology. He studied at EPFL in Lausanne and also spent a year at Imperial College in London. As he explains, he was always looking for a way to put technology and innovation at the service of humanity. Eventually, he gathered an exceptional team to work on improving the eye health care service and started his own company, RetinAI.

The team behind RetinAI is developing a solution for an early detection of vision issues and their aim is to help patients by preventing sight loss. As Ciller explains, they want to cut down the current waiting time for diagnosis of eye diseases and to be able to deliver medical diagnosis within a day.

Have you ever wondered what’s in the future for retail shopping while we all progressively enjoy the benefits of online shops? Many claim that retail shops will vanish at some point, but when we met with Iman Nahvi, the CEO and co-founder at Advertima, he presented another theory to us.

Originally from Iran, Iman Nahvi is a serial entrepreneur who grew up in Switzerland. He completed his bachelor studies in Banking and Finance at the University of Zurich and earned his masters degree in Entrepreneurship at the University of St.Gallen.

To get a better insight into the startup scene in Eastern Switzerland we interviewed Matijas Cosic, CEO & co-founder at Simedis. In addition, we discuss the development of MedTech and the importance of networking! Make sure you don’t miss the video below!

Matijas Cosic is coming from St.Gallen, where he finished his bachelor studies. To get his masters degree in Business Administration, Cosic continued his education in Zurich. Before he went down the entrepreneurship alley, Cosic worked for the Real Estate industry. He explains that he was very lucky to meet his current business partners during his masters studies and to start a company with them, Simedis.

The team behind Simedis believe that the science and technology development has already reached a level that requires certain changes in medical training. As Cosic claims, it’s time for doctors to leave the learning of medical skills on humans in past and to use vivid simulation instead. That’s why Simedis produce virtual reality simulations for the medical training of doctors.

When you have so many different ideas, but it seems to you that they don’t coincide and that you can’t accomplish them all, you should definitely meet today’s guest! #StartupShow is the place for versatile talents, so this time we hosted Cédric Waldburger, Founder of sendtask.io.

As an investor, entrepreneur, blogger and digital nomad, Cédric Waldburger leads an extraordinary life. Without a permanent living space, he takes all his belongings with him on his many travels and runs his blog, 64things.com. When he was only 14, he started his first company, and he is involved in several projects nowadays. For the past 4 years, Waldburger has been investing in startups in their early stages, as CEO at Tenderloin Ventures. Today we discuss his latest venture, Sendtask.io and yes, we are talking about only one person!

Sendtask.io is a task manager, different to others as it allows you to share tasks with anyone, regardless of them being your team members or not. It enables you to share projects with your suppliers and clients too, without them having to create any accounts, or you having to explain a complex app.
