The Venture Briefing event series is designed to help students take their first steps toward entrepreneurship. This session will bring Iselin Frøybu, co-founder of Emovo Care,  on stage.

Iselin Frøybu, co-founder of Emovo Care, whose technology makes it possible to regain mobility after losing the ability to move a hand due to a neurological or orthopedic injury will address the audience.

Iselyn is Norwegian/French and went to high school in Bangladesh. She graduated from EPFL in 2016, with an Msc in mechanical engineering. 

"The most challenging part of being a founder is that you just have to figure out certain things on your own—without the necessary competence or experience. You also have to manage your time and priorities in the most effective way to deliver on transversal and often unrelated tasks and milestones. It can also be challenging to balance your personal life," says Iselin.

Iselin will talk about her startup and share details about her journey in building a successful company. She will also help answer some of your questions during the Q&A session:
  • How to become an entrepreneur? 
  • How to validate my idea?
  • How to fund my idea?
  • How to find help to bring my idea to life?
You will also be introduced to different support programs available to new entrepreneurs:
  • Venture Kick (up to 150K pre-seed capital for business development)
  • InnoBooster (up to 150k grant to accelerate market entry)
  • First Ventures (financial support and tailored coaching program for University of Applied Science students)
Thank you to the Gebert Rüf Stiftung for supporting this event.
