Venture Talks #13 Build a Winning Team

Arnaud Jacquemet, GSHC

🚀 Great Startup Needs a Great Team

You’ve got the research, the data, and maybe even a groundbreaking idea. But do you have the right people in your corner?

It’s a tough truth: most startups don’t fail because the tech is bad—some fail because the team falls apart. Finding the right co-founders and keeping that "startup spirit" alive when things get stressful is a science of its own.

For our next Venture Talk, we’re stepping out of the lab and onto the ice.

🏒 Guest Spotlight: Arnaud Jacquemet

We’re thrilled to host Arnaud Jacquemet, former pro hockey player and now Secretary General of Genève-Servette Hockey Club (GSHC).

Arnaud knows exactly what "Team Spirit" looks like when the pressure is at its peak. He’ll be sharing his take on:

The "Co-founder" Chemistry: How to pick your teammates for the long haul – 911 National League matches.
Winning Mindsets: What scientists can learn from elite athletes about resilience and trust – Swiss championship title (2023) and European championship title (2024).
Recruiting Talent: How to spot a "player" who actually fits your culture – assistant captain and one of the team’s leaders.

Come grab a coffee, meet fellow researchers, and learn how to build a team that actually goes the distance.

No hockey skates required—just your questions and an entrepreneurial itch!
