DESCRIPTION:The network engineering industry is rich with technical talent 
 but remains surprisingly underrepresented in the world of product-driven s
 tartups. In 2025 Thomas Weible (CTO and Co-Founder\, FLEXOPTIX) and Moritz
  Frenzel (CEO and Co-Founder\, EdgeOps) started to share their entrepreneu
 rial journeys\, each shaped by a deep technical background and a commitmen
 t to building products instead of pursuing the traditional consulting rout
 e.\n\nOne year later at EdgeOps (Y 2) and FLEXOPTIX (Y 18) a lot of things
  did happen in their product companies. The session offers an exciting jou
 rney surging awesome highlights and annoying pitfalls we've experienced in
  the last year timeframe. If you weren't convinced in the first edition of
  this workshop in 2025\, maybe now?\n\nThis workshop aims to inspire and e
 quip engineers\, founders\, and future entrepreneurs with the confidence a
 nd perspective to transition from services to products\, still shifting fr
 om billing hours to building something that lasts\, while also fostering c
 onnections between existing and aspiring founders. \n\nOn more thing\, Ber
 nd Sontheimer (formerly sdt.net\, now TNG) committed to share his experien
 ces of the merge and acquisition process in 2023.
