We spoke with Anna Sulzer, who was a systems engineer of PERIPHAS, which in 2022 developed guidance, navigation, and control for the recovery of a sounding rocket using a parafoil. We talked about the initial idea and struggles during development, as well as the glorious flight demonstration at the European Rocketry Challenge. This was a fascinating conversation, and if you are into Rockets, Aerospace, and Drones, you are in for a treat :)

This episode is hosted by me, David and today I speak with Jan who you might remember from his first appearance on the podcast about 6 months ago. Jan is the founder of Waveline, a B2B workflow automation startup. In our conversation, we dive into what Jan’s team has been up to since the last time we spoke and notably his first-hand experience of going through the Y Combinator batch at the start of this year in San Francisco. You’ll hear about their application process, their pivot during the batch, the experience of living with his cofounders for 4 months in an airbnb and of building and fundraising for a startup in the fast-moving generative AI space. I hope you enjoy!

This episode is hosted by me, David and I speak with Jessica who is the founder of Noriware, a startup that turns seaweed into plastic packaging, cutting the dependency on unsustainable fossil fuels and making our packaging home compostable and even edible. We speak about how Noriware was born from an accident during a home experiment, the hurdles Jessica has had to overcome to turn this realization into a startup while being a student of international affairs, and I even got to see and touch one of their early prototypes. Jessica’s perserverance and resilience has made this one of the most inspiring conversations I’ve had on the podcast and I truly wish Jessica and her team all the best in the future. I hope you realize during the episode that if you set your mind on something you can do it regardless of your background.
