Basel Entrepreneurs Meetup with Stefanie Zechner (Nextimpact)

Intro
Whether you have already built a successful company, are sweating tears and blood assembling your first team, an investor searching for the next unicorn, or are simply curious and want to learn about life as an entrepreneur, this is your chance!

We restart our regular series of meetings, during which you will get chances to network, listen to fascinating company presentations and learn from the biggest failures ever made. All in a convivial atmosphere.
We explicitly welcome everyone interested in the fascinating world of entrepreneurship.

In our first meetup of 2025 we will welcome Stefanie Zechner from Nextimpact in our "hot" seat.

nextImpact is a Basel-based startup creating bespoke journeys to impact. Our mission is to enable Life Science leaders to connect, energize, and make the move to their next impact without losing valuable time. We do this through a holistic program that combines personalized coaching, access to hidden job opportunities, and creating a community united by a passion for fostering innovation and advancing medicine.

Agenda:

• 18:00 - 18:30 Welcome
• 18:30 - 19:00 Hot Seat with Stefanie Zechner
• 19:00 - 20:00 Entrepreneur Exchange
• 20:00 - open Drinks at Flanagan's Irish Pub (feel free to join)

What is the Hot Seat?
Our goal is to learn from each other, and we believe that we can learn most from challenges others have overcome and "failures" that they themselves learned from.
We run the hot seat in two steps: Firstly, the guest Entrepreneurs will give us a short intro into their startup and share some of their learnings/fails. Secondly, we will go into an open discussion with the group to ask questions and challenge the Entrepreneurs ideas.

What is the Entrepreneur Exchange?
We will use elements from liberatingstructures.com to facilitate active exchanges between our participants. Everybody should have both the opportunity to learn from other Entrepreneurs and to share their knowledge with others.
