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
"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community.
