What we’re about
Basel Entrepreneurship isn’t just another meetup.
It’s a space for founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs to connect, have honest conversations, and grow bold ideas into real ventures.
What makes it different? Our sessions are intentionally moderated to spark meaningful exchange — not just casual networking or one-way talks. The format invites everyone in, encourages shared learning, and helps surface insights you won’t get alone. (We use tools like Liberating Structures to support this.)
Whether you're starting from scratch, scaling up, or still figuring out your path, you’ll find a supportive group of people who get the journey — and want to navigate it together.
Join us and experience a more thoughtful, collaborative way to explore entrepreneurship — right here in Basel.

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.We will welcome a guest in our "hot" seat.
Agenda:
- 18:00 - 18:30 Welcome
- 18:30 - 19:00 Hot Seat with guest
- 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.About the location
