About this episode

Enzo Wälchli helped scale Anybotics from an early-stage robotics startup to a 200-person company redefining physical AI. In this episode, he opens up about the real work behind startup growth: evolving from founder hustle to strategic leadership, navigating organizational design, hiring senior leaders, and staying present at home with two small kids. It’s a candid, practical conversation for anyone growing a deep tech company - and a reminder that building fast doesn’t mean losing focus on what matters most.
