Marko Bjelonic's got two things going for him: a robotics company, and investment money from Jeff Bezos 🤖 😱 He's the co-founder and CEO of Swiss-Mile, a deep tech ETH spin-off connecting AI with the physical world through autonomous machines. Their USP is simple: they incorporated neural networks on wheeled-legged robots, helping them to navigate complex environments. Ever since launch, their social media videos have gotten a total of 100M views, and over 150 companies reached out to them to inquire about their product, with leads coming in on a daily basis. We're not surprised. Are you? Check out our chat with Marko, available on our website and wherever you get your podcasts.

Few people deny the existence of natural talent, but... 🧠 All savants will tell you that your likelihood of becoming truly excellent at something is directly correlated to your willingness to withstand the discomfort of sucking at that something for quite a long a time. Basically, no pain, no gain! And, sometimes, the pain comes from having your work rightfully critiqued by others. Check out our episode with Sproutd co-founder Lida Ahmadi and Treeless co-founder Adam Aleksander Korczak to learn how they incorporated constructive criticism into their founder journeys. The ep is available on our website and wherever you get your podcasts! This episode was co-produced by the Female Founders Initiative Switzerland.

The Romans used to say that fortune favors the bold 🏛️ 💪 And you can't start a startup without a healthy dose of boldness. Or call it risk-tolerance, if you will — in the end, it's all the same: it means you're willing to take a calculated risk to strive for things which seem impossible today. That's a pretty great opportunity, in our book. And in Adam Aleksander Korczak's, too 😉 Which is why he started Treeless.
