🇨🇭 Europe's #1 Robotics Voice 🤖 | 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗖𝗢 | CRO, CSO, CMO | Happy dad of 👧🏼+👶🏼 | 🄵🄾🄻🄻🄾🅆 🄼🄴 🔔 to stay up to date on #robotics #AI #deeptech

Deeptech success requires a GTM approach as innovative as the technology. I help tech founders 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 by replacing generic advice with the real-world "scar tissue" and execution experience earned from 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟬 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭𝟬𝗠+. I am also launching Switzerland’s first 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 to inject operator DNA back into the venture ecosystem.

--- WHAT I DO ---

𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗧𝗠 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿
I provide sharp, structured sparring for CEOs/GTM leaders when 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. I help you see around corners on building your 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, negotiating 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 and 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀, or designing 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 required to scale. I shift between sparring partner and hands-on execution to drive real outcomes.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱
I am building a venture fund designed to channel the experience of 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱'𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘂𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 into the next generation of tech startups by providing founders direct access to an 𝘂𝗻𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 to avoid costly mistakes and scale faster.

--- LET'S TALK ---

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲? 
If you are looking to 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, build a 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲, or are seeking an 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 for your next round: let’s connect.

🇨🇭 SWISS #SCALEUP EXECUTIVES 🦄 Silently building Switzerland's most #powerful startup exec community 🚀

We met for another breakfast yesterday - we do those gatherings 2x/quarter. 

The CURATION:

✔️ Only Scaleups (10M revenues, 100 FTE, 30M+ funding, international)

✔️ Only Executices

✔️ No Exceptions 

Like that, already 180 execs in the community. Growing. 

The WHO IS WHO. (by merit, not ego).

If you think about it: Those are the decision makers of the biggest and most successful #startups of Switzerland 🥰

This is the group that builds companies that will shape Switzerland's economy of the #future 💪

Absolute amazing group - basically the lion's club / rotary club of the future ☺️

And what's next: Giving back experience to earlier stage startups in the ecosystem, with operators launching the Flywheel. 

2026 will be exciting, a lot is cooking :) stay tuned. 

Cheers 
Enzo

⁉️ Reflective Question: When did you last see so many #Robotics C-Level in one frame? My guess: #Never 😎 Why? This is #Europe Robotics Virtual C-Level Coffee Round 👇

Every Week on Friday: 🤖 Robotics Coffee ☕

09:30 ⏱️ Welcome 
09:33 ☕ Break-out rooms of 3, random assignment → 25min Coffee & Chat
09:58 📸 Back to main room → SELFIE time & retro

This week was already 2x the participants of last week.

Also the group of Europe Robotics Executives is growing like crazy. 250 C-Level already. Let me know if you want to join (Robotics Company, 5+ FTE, C-Level).

Trust me when I say:
✅ Europe Robotics is on Fire 
✅ We are building Europe's #Future
✅ This is the biggest Robotics C-Level Community out there

And it's only 10 days old 🤣 Let's see where this goes!!

MOMENTUM !?

LFG 🏃

📣 Project Switzerland is live: Pairing top-shot #scaleups with experienced #operators - that's what the ecosystem needs 🚀 As #ambassador of the program, I can nominate startups that meet the following criteria:

Selection criteria (3 out of 4 must be met):
🤝 ARR: CHF 2–10 million 
📈 Market potential: > CHF 200 million annual revenue 
👥 Team size: > 15 employees 
💰Financing: at least CHF 2 million raised from investors

Awesome to witness how much energy is flowing into the Swiss startup ecosystem right now - LFG 🏃

On that note: Was positively surprised earlier this week that Switzerland already represents 44% of VC funding compared to Germany or France and is clear #4 ecosystem in Europe. Clearly punching well above its weight 🔥🔥🔥

That's music in my ears 🎶
