Learn from those that already did it.

After this course you will have

This year, you again have the opportunity to experience the module 7IN at the School of Engineering (SoE) with an exciting lecture series. Under the title "Real Founders, Real Stories", we offer you the unique chance to learn from experienced tech founders and hear their success stories.

In this exclusive series, successful founders share their personal experiences, challenges, and successes with you. You'll gain insights into the world of start-ups and can benefit from the best practices and lessons learned by the founders. In addition to the lectures by the Gebert Rüf Foundation (First Ventures) and a visit to the Technopark Winterthur, where you can experience the innovative atmosphere of one of Switzerland's leading technology parks, we'll also cover legal aspects of the founding process.

This lecture series is the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills in the area of founding and leading start-ups, and to gain inspiration and motivation from experienced founders. We're looking forward to welcoming you to this series and giving you the chance to learn from the "Real Founders" and hear their "Real Stories".
