The Y Combinator experience with Waveline 🇨🇭 Jan Schnyder pt.2
This episode is hosted by me, David and today I speak with Jan who you might remember from his first appearance on the podcast about 6 months ago. Jan is the founder of Waveline, a B2B workflow automation startup. In our conversation, we dive into what Jan’s team has been up to since the last time we spoke and notably his first-hand experience of going through the Y Combinator batch at the start of this year in San Francisco. You’ll hear about their application process, their pivot during the batch, the experience of living with his cofounders for 4 months in an airbnb and of building and fundraising for a startup in the fast-moving generative AI space. I hope you enjoy!

How we got the Excellence Scholarship at ETH Zurich (ESOP)
For chemical engineering, ETHZ or TUD?
Hey david. Thank you so much for the video. I do have few question I found no answer anywhere. First one is, In case of US or CA, we have to manage a professor (who would like us to get admitted into their college and sometimes it opens the door for scholarship too) and then we have to apply centrally. Is it the same case for switzerland? And does managing any professor (if there is any such culture in swiss) somehow improve my chance of getting admitted into the college like in the USA or CA.And as you said, there is an interview for ESOP, does the interviewer somehow is the one of which my given topic would match? Secondly, from your experience (also you've already made a Q&A video about that but there were only 4 people and with very high gpa ofc), what is the weight of GPA in case of getting and ESOP? For example, if I'm from a lesser known uni with an average GPA but if I can propose a good thesis proposal, is there any chance that I might gate accepted? Finally, (I'm so sorry for taking your time) what would you call a good thesis proposal? For example, if my thesis proposal is something an ETH professor have worked with and I want to continue into that field, is it a good proposal or is it something that doesn't have to fit into any professor's previous work domain but can be a very hot topic at that time? Thank you in advance.
Hi David! Similar to you, i'm studying aerospace engineering at TU Delft, and would like to study the masters in robotics, systems and control at ETH Zurich from 2025 onward. Do you recommend going to the open days of ETH around 5 September or is it only useful for prospective bachelor students?
Brains running on electricity
Is this apartment rent not included in your ESOP scholarship?
12:35 I even felt the same at first when I started to learn ROS and found that virtual machine is not fit for running the ROS in efficient... gazebo struggles a lot to start..by the way I recently discovered your channel and it's fantastic! .I'm curious abt ETH Zurich's robotics programs. Thanks for the great vids, mate!
This is great! Very nice video :)
It is good for civil engineering master in ETH??
Can you be TA while studying undergraduate?
Not really on topic. But I hope you guys are dating, you two look so good together lol
Hi, just wanted to ask, are you studying in English in ETH ZURICH??
Thank zeus the other bathroom has a window.
Does both universities have courses for data architecture??
Is there MBA specialize in Digital Transformation?
video and interview quality🤩🤩🤩 Thumbnail and music selection quality🤢🤢🤢
thanks for the feedback!
Don't split paths emotionally and spiritually ❤❤
I got an opportunity be at both the universities. And I must tell you that Tu delf is far better in project based learning whereas if u are a book worm then ethz is the best choice for you.
I love the last sentence you said! It really is about how much you make out of each experience.
hey, whats the name of the sound at the beginning :)
😢?
God bless you David Alonso
I love how the weather when shooting in Delft is just pure shit, very accurate
Brother i got a question... Is Masters in Aerospace available in ETH with scholarship? I am currently an undergraduate student of Aerospace Engineering...
"I think human are too good to be just good at one thing." My favorite quote so far this year. Thank you so much for this. And the music you were making, damn man. That was really good. Btw, I have kind of same hobbies of yours. (Piano and Photography).
You made my day :)
Hello sir can I do Masters in Pharmacy I'm from India and my college is 14000 no in Qs rankings Is there any chance for selection? My GPA is 3+ and other Extra curricular are also good Please give honest answer
@davidalonso please i'd like to know if it's possible to apply for a Master in Cyber Security after the deadline for International Students. I live in Africa, in the inquirements, i found this amazing university of Zurich but unfortunately it was a little bit late because the application deadline was the 15th of this month. The office admission looks close for the holliday since they don't reply to my e-mails. Please let me know if i still have the chance to apply from your experience.

Is MAVLab associated with the Robotics department?
Wow! Your place is amazing. I just submitted yesterday my ETH Zurich application for my masters and I found your pre-proposal scholarship video super helpful 😅 thanks for the content.
Hi David! Thank you very much for sharing this. I would like to know about the application fee, is there other application fee we should pay apart the one we paid for the MSc application ? thank you!!!
Hello Thanks for your video Please help me understand I am interested in the masters in management technology and economics but on the school website they require back bachelors in engineering or natural science I don't understand I hold a bachelors degree in accounting and finance any fulfil all the other requirements do I have any chance if I apply or I shouldn't
Your video is very informative! Thank you for sharing your insights. I wanted to ask, as you mentioned in the video, that there are multiple sub-sections to cover. However, in your template, you have written it under one document as a passage. So, isn't it necessary to outline the timeline that shows our plan weekly for the project? And don't we need to use multiple subheadings to organize the sections?
hey David, I saw that you don't have a timetable, did they ask for it before? or is it something new that they just added for this year?
Hey David, Extremely helpful video! Especially since there's nothing on the internet about ESOP. I'm writing a proposal for physics so it involves a significant jargon. I cannot explain everything in 500 words while also explaining my topic. Who is my target audience for the pre-proposal and how do you recommend mitigating this?
I recently got the admission to ETH. So excited to start the journey.
Congrats!!!!! See you in Zurich :)
@@itsdavidalonso Thank you! See you soon.
Can you talk a bit about the process? A got so confused by the university website.
@@krishnadhakal5246can you talk a bit more about the process? I got a little bit confused on the university website.
any plans to create a course on ros2?
Thank you David for sharing this amazing information. I browse in the internet that living in Switzerland is expensive. I want to ask, is it possible to live and study in Switzerland only with 12,000 chf from ESOP scholarship?
Thank you guys! You made me believe that every student could achieve their goals and don't be so afraid to try😊
Is it possible to be denied a scholarship while still securing admission into a master's program without any financial assistance? and is the GRE required for robotics masters?
Is there an application fee to apply?
Not when I applied! I doubt it'll be anything significant if they changed it
Its 50 chf for EU and 150 for Non EU for masters on website But I am confused whether thats appliacable to ESOP as well.
Hello,If we do not meet this 'Very good result in Bachelor’s degree programme (top 10% of Bachelor’s degree programme = grade A)' criterion, can we not apply to the program? Do we have no chance of acceptance.I would be very happy if you answer))
Seems ground floor apartment
Thanks david for such a elucid video. i wanted to know particular to your masters. Can aerospace Bachelors guys apply for robotics control masters.
Yes! I was in that position
Great video, but I am pretty sure David himself is half a genius (or super hardworker) considering that he got so many scholarships in highschool and uniIt is exactly why he says "if you are an excellent student..."
Hi. David looking so beautiful neat and clean apartment wish you all the best god bless you🌹🌻🌺🌹🌻🌺🌹🌻🌺🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 my favourite country Switzerland I like it.🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 goodbye🖐🖐
I study CS at TUD. The part about working less than 42 hours at TUD is not possible without a study delay. The course load is very heavy and rather fast pace. It’s somewhat manageable but TUD makes you work for these 15 ECTS. The upside is that you can learn a lot and get a very nice and broad perspective but on the other hand, if you are not fully efficient and with your time or want to work next to studying or find the study to be difficult, it can burn you out if you aim to finish your study in 2 years.
Exactly, man! Although I survived in EE program for the first year, I'm still undergoing the crazy workload in the second year. It seems that you never have time to catch a breath with the intensive lectures and homework. The 20,000 euros tuition fee makes it extra hard for international students outside European countries . If the tuition fee is 2000 euros, things become easier. I do want to explore more on this country and the corners of the city. 🥲
the way that your photography and music hobbies came together in this video is really inspiring! awesome video
Hii guuys, which's best??
Do the EOPS AND ETH bear the cost of housing?
No unfortunately. There are plenty of accommodations for students though from $400-1000/mo
