Gang of 7

What happens if you put 7 of the world’s top innovators and myself into the same room?

tl;dr I lost a 8-leg “Action UNO” game.

My last weekend started in a huge traffic jam from Geneva to Zürich Sounds boring? Usually it is. But not if you’re in the car with Alexander Osterwalder, Paris Thomas, and Tendayi Viki. This kicked off a 48 hours journey of learning and inspiration.

The next day the “Gang of 7” gathered in Gregory Bernarda’s apartment. Now there was Paris, Alex, Tendayi, Greg, Christian Doll, Frederic Etiemble, and Michael N. Wilkens. What a crowd to present your startup to! 7 heavy weight champions in the space of innovation. 7 different perspectives and intellects. Thank you all for this amazing opportunity to show you what we’ve been up to.

Just to name a few topics for me: Taking investment, valuing a company, how to create resilient business models (ask Michael N. Wilkens), I am biases (nothing new I know), how to look at a paintings and what “Upruption” is (ask Gregory Bernarda).

Thanks folks! It was a blast! I am humbled.

If you don’t follow any of these guys, you’re definitely missing out. Big shifts are coming. Not just with AI.
