Sander Gansen (25 years old) is the tech nerd in pursuit of automation, longevity and networks. This means that he’s fascinated in all things related to science and experimentation, as long as it has the potential to change the course of humanity, for the better. Meanwhile, his main goal is to help speed up the adoption of emerging technologies, so we could all one day experience flying autonomous vehicles, smart dust and various use cases of biotech.

Having started his entrepreneurial career at the age of 14, he believes that every child should start their first business while 4 years old. Or at least before entering the teenage years. Because this way we enter our 20s/30s having had enough time to learn the necessary skills and still have the power to start something awesome.

So far, he has established or helped to grow various businesses, including Robotex (global robotics education network), Shipitwise (building software for digitising logistics companies), QuikTract (on-demand platform for construction workers) and QuikCamp (on-demand platform for booking camping sites). Sander's prior experience also includes work in Startup Wise Guys, a private capital accelerator and investment fund and teaching entrepreneurship at multiple Estonian universities, including the University of Tartu.

Sander graduated in 2015 from Draper University with a non-academic degree in business and startup building. He also has studied Law and Business Administration at the University of Tartu.

His motto is: Dream, Risk, Have Fun and Never Regret.
