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
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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."
