    Kian van der Enden on Quantum Tech

    My guest this week, Kian van der Enden, is a young engineer and one of the most curious and inquisitive minds I have interviewed so far. Kian is a researcher at QuTech, where he is developing the quantum internet to help connect quantum computers at larger distances. He also interned at Microsoft to study Quantum Architecture, and most impressively, won the first SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition out of 1200 teams by designing and building the capsule that goes into the reduced-pressure tubes that can reach airline like speeds using electric propulsion and magnetic levitation. Our conversation is all about quantum technology and how this space is going to change over the coming decades. We discuss concepts such as quantum entanglement and quantum states and quickly branch off to talk about broader implications and applications of this fascinating technology. Kian describes his work as bending fundamental physics properties to his will by writing software that controls machines in a controlled environment. I am fascinated by his work and I think you will be as well. Enjoy the conversation!

    Ronan Liedmeier and Robin Salimans on Entrepreneurship, Tech, and Culture

    My guests this week are Ronan and Robin, the co-founders of StudentUp – a social media for student entrepreneurs to connect and build together. As a disclaimer, since the recording of this podcast in early January, the team has pivoted to a different business model addressing the same underlying problems. Our conversation is about the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology, and culture. We discuss their personal hurdles, what they have learnt along their journey, and how they keep each other motivated. Given that they got started in Silicon Valley, we also discuss the entrepreneurial ecosystem there and compare it to the European landscape. Ronan and Robin are entrepreneurs at heart so I enjoyed their energy and all that they have learnt. So much so that I decided to invest in them and help them fulfill their ambitions. This was one of my favorite conversations on the podcast, I hope you enjoy it!
