🇨🇭 #Scaleup Executives Breakfast 🦄 2025: >150 members, 5 events 🚀 Very high NPS 😍 #Flywheel starts turning ♻️

Yesterday was 2025 scaleup event #5 - the last of this year:

2x dinner
2x breakfast
1x summit

Another highlight 😍 Why? 2 things:

1️⃣ 100% curated events: Only Execs of Switzerland's premier scaleups. So these people are THE leaders of our #startup ecosystem 💪

2️⃣ Time is scarce - they all have urgent other things ongoing. Not only 100 other event invites, also year-end, Xmas, etc. But they still come and feedback is top:

🗨️ "This was great, I'll join again next time" 

🗨️ "I had a super interesting discussion" 

🗨️ "We both are going through a similar challenge" 

That's exactly why I keep investing time in "scaling" the scaleup chapter 😏

✅ People get the VALUE of it
✅ Ecosystem is RIPE for scale
✅ Flywheel starts TURNING

Over the next few years, the #Swiss startup ecosystem will enter it's next stage. 

It's great to be at the center of this development with this community.

LFG 🏃‍♂️

Thanks to Swisscom Ventures / Tina Willibald for hosting this breakfast at their Pirates Hub and to Kristina Kaiser / Swiss Startup Association for the stellar org 🙏

Cheers

CCO at ANYbotics 🤖 | Deeptech Operator | Built & Scaled GTM from 0 to 10M+ | Helping Tech Founders Crack the Commercial Code

🔥🔥 Swiss #Robotics is on fire 🤖 Launched a founder community 48h ago, now already 50+ members, growing fast 🚀 Switzerland is second to none in Europe when it comes to robotics 🇨🇭

I like connecting people. And I believe there is tremendous value of the right communities 🚀

Building and scaling a #deeptech company is incredibly hard and against all odds.

Being able to connect with people with the same challenges day in day out is incredibly valuable.

And as Metcalfe proclaimed nearly 50 years ago: The value of a network grows exponentially with the amount of its users. 

So let's go, #Swiss Robotics :)

In addition of already having a leading position in Europe in Deeptech (# of companies, % share of deeptech investments, invest per capita, etc.), Switzerland also boosts top unis with ETH Zürich, EPFL, and University of Zurich, putting more and more #talent and #tech into the ecosystem.

Here, I say it:

There is no better place to start your #robot or #drone startup than in 🇨🇭 Switzerland 😍

LFG 🏃

Cheers 
Enzo

PS: If you are a robotics/drone HW and/or SW startup cofounder or c-level and want to join, just let me know.

👉 Follow Enzo Wälchli for real insights on scaling #deeptech and #robotics 🤖
--------------------------

♟️ #Industry isn’t a board game. It’s unstructured, chaotic, and constantly shifting. It's the real #robotics game 🤖

Factories don’t give you perfect rules, perfect symmetry, or clean data.

Robots operate in environments where a 0.05 mm deviation breaks everything, where lighting changes ruin detection, where 14-DOF systems like ABB’s YuMi become brittle instead of useful.

This is why industrial automation has been stuck.

And why what FORGIS just achieved matters.

#FORGIS brought adaptability to a #robot that was built only for precision.

They took a YuMi (no built-in 3D vision, rigid waypoint programming, hyper-sensitive to its surroundings) and made it operate flexibly in a real, unstructured environment.

❌ Not a lab

❌ Not a simulation

✅ A factory-like reality

This is #PhysicalAI finally stepping off the board.

From Deep Blue to AlphaGo, AI mastered perfect games.

But industry is the real game, and it requires intelligence that can handle variation, uncertainty, and atoms, not just bits.

FORGIS just raised $4.5M in 36 hours to build exactly that: 

The orchestration layer for industrial intelligence, a “Windows for factories.”

Plug-and-play, not pain-and-wait.

As a mentor at the HSG START Accelerator, I've been coaching the team and it’s been a true pleasure working with them. Their clarity, ambition, and pace are rare.

Europe needs more of it.

LFG 🏃‍♂️

Cheers
Enzo
