Former venture leaders are glad to have been there. Flurin Müller for example says: „venture leaders gives an inspiring and substantial insight into what it means to build an international startup.“ He is the co-founder of BuddyBroker, which belongs to XING now. We talked with him a few months ago about venture leaders and cooperation with BKW.
Andreas Hempel, co-founder and CEO, Embotech, takes the same line: „The venture leaders program in New York was an intense week with lots of actionable inspiration from US and Swiss startups, and a great opportunity for business development in New York.“ In November all the venture leaders gathered at the US embassy in Bern to receive a diploma for the program by former ambassador Suzi LeVine.
