More about Sander Gansen
Sander Gansen (27 years old) is a proud father and tech nerd in pursuit of automation, longevity and networks. This means that he’s fascinated by 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 WOF Labs (blockchain research and engineering company), Springrise (marketing strategy & execution agency), Speys/Shipitwise (logistics & supply chain management tool) and Robotex (global robotics education network). 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.
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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
