LINDEN

The dark side of becoming an entrepreneur

Ronald Zemp
Founder & Chairman, RZ Capital AG

Entrepreneurial topics that are seldom publicly talked about: The feeling of failing. The loneliness in times of taking hard decisions, navigating rough seas and even in times of success. The emptiness after the rush of a successful exit when you realize that your “baby” is not yours anymore and you struggle to find a new purpose even though everyone expects you to be super happy. The relationship with your family or friends that change for the better or worse during times of hardship, deprivation, failure and also success. A talk among 4 entrepreneurs and the audience.
