Session
The network engineering industry is rich with technical talent but remains surprisingly underrepresented in the world of product-driven startups. In this workshop, Thomas Weible (CTO and Co-Founder, FLEXOPTIX) and Moritz Frenzel (CEO and Co-Founder, EdgeOps) share their entrepreneurial journeys, each shaped by a deep technical background and a commitment to building products instead of pursuing the traditional consulting route.
With FLEXOPTIX drawing on over 15 years of experience in building and growing a sustainable product company, and EdgeOps bringing the perspective of a fresh startup less than a year into its journey, the session offers both long-term insight and real-time relevance. Thomas and Moritz will each present a focused 15-minute talk covering their paths, followed by an open and interactive 90-minute discussion.
This workshop aims to inspire and equip engineers, founders, and future entrepreneurs with the confidence and perspective to transition from services to products, shifting from billing hours to building something that lasts, while also fostering connections between existing and aspiring founders.
