EM-U #93: Fireside chat with Jose Iglesias (Techstars) and Mait Müntel (Start-up founder and CERN alumnus)

Where:  

CERN

at IdeaSquare

Before he left CERN, alumnus Mait Müntel started looking into how he might be able to teach himself french more efficiently. With time, this lead to him found Lingvist, a start-up using machine learning to help people learn languages quicker. The company has now gathered over 10m EUR in funding and is growing rapidly. 

Through one of Techstars three-month-long accelerators, Lingvist grew its network of contributors, partners and investors. This Thursday, Mait and Jose Iglesias, Director at Techstars for Europe, Middle East & Africa, sit down and talk about what Techstars is, how CERN Alumni Mait benefited from it, and when and how you should apply to a tech-stars accelerator program. 

The event is open for CERNies and CERN alumni.
