J floor

Amboras (YC P26) is the AI-native Shopify. Amboras puts the entire e-commerce stack on autopilot and runs your store end to end. Every session feeds a richer picture of how your customers actually shop: what pulls them in, what makes them buy, what brings them back. The agents turn that into a constantly expanding queue of offer, layout, and copy variants, shipping hundreds in the time a dev team would ship one, compounding your CVR, AOV, and retention toward the real goal: lifetime value per visitor. While you focus on driving traffic, your store sharpens itself the more it sees. Beta merchants are seeing over 80% CVR lift on the first version Amboras puts live. E-commerce is a $30T+ industry still running on tools built for slow, manual deployment, where even the largest stores are barely profitable. The founders Imad Eddine Mokadem and Amin Mokadem scaled a $200K/month brand themselves while studying at ETH Zurich and watched their margins get eaten by exactly that overhead, so they built Amboras. If you run an e-commerce store, reach out at amboras.com or email the founders at imad@amboras.com. Congrats to the team on the launch! https://lnkd.in/gzhs4GmX

Amazing people building J floor!

Every good startup ecosystem is built on connections. Ambitious builders meeting ambitious builders, mingling, and building together. That’s why I’m so happy that Zurich has the ETH Robotics Club and J floor.🇨🇭 I met Nikos and Declan last year, when they were both just starting out, with little funding, but a similar vision of getting a place for the most ambitious builders to build. Fast forward a couple of months, and the progress they (and the teams) have made is wild. J floor has 2 locations with 100+ resident builders (+ many more on the waiting list), one amazing yellow sofa, and it is throwing events with OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. ETH Robotics Club has its own hangar, 100s of members tinkering with robots, and when I visited Declan a month ago, they were just preparing for (I think?) the largest robotics hackathon in Zurich, where robots fought in a cage match.🤖 Zurich is cooking.

Was nice to attend another edition of Zurich Demo Night, thank you for organizing Dominique Paul and Benedikt Seidel ! Super nice to see what everyone is working on in Zurich.

You can have talent, capital, and ideas. If the right people don’t connect, nothing moves. Last week in Zurich, the launch of J floor Floor brought together founders, builders, and operators working on what comes next. Mathias Vazquez Rodriguez, Open Innovation Manager at HITS, was there as part of this moment for the local ecosystem. J Floor brings together the people actively shaping the ecosystem, including Nikos Kaliorakis, Matteo Pariset, Matteo Agnoletto, Riccardo Zana, Jan Wiegner, Gregor Kisters, Apolline Chaboche and Fayçal M'hamdi, alongside partners such as Founderful, Alfred and Project A. The premise is simple: future builders need both space and community to operate at speed. At Hits this is exactly where we want to be. As an InsurTech Corp-Up studio, we connect emerging solutions with real corporate opportunities, taking them from idea to scalable impact. Being close to environments like J Floor means staying directly connected to how new solutions are being built and tested in real time. We are excited to be a founding partner of this community and to contribute to strengthening the entrepreneurial fabric of the Greater Zurich Area.

You probably already saw a few posts about J floor, so feel free to skip this one :) But just in case you didn’t: Last Thursday, we hosted our launch event, and it was 🔥 200+ builders, investors, operators, and researchers in one room. The kind of crowd that you'll want to have in your network 10 years from now 😏. Over the next years, J floor will be a home for builders and founders in Zurich. I must say that you’ll want to stop by if you’re visiting the city looking for deal flow, a co-founder, or just curious about what’s being built here. With Matteo Pariset, Riccardo Zana, Nikos Kaliorakis, Jan Wiegner, Matteo Agnoletto, and many others, we pulled this together in just a few months. Getting the community together, fundraising, finding a space, and refurbishing it from scratch. Huge thank you to ETH Student Project House for the support over the years and giving birth to part of this community. Lucie Rejman, Isabella Ilchmann, Maria Alejandra, Valentina Ricupero,Mattis Stolze, Azrahan Sarah Van den Berg... Gratitude to our sponsors Founderful, @alfred (Diego Seitz, Thomas van Gammeren), Project A (Daria Gneusheva), Browser Use, Earthling VC, HITS - House of Insurtech Switzerland.

I'll just say, let's go :) 🔥.

Last Thursday, we launched J floor. Builders, founders, investors, operators, creatives, and friends joined us from Switzerland and beyond. Some have believed in J floor from day one, others discovered us only recently. For one evening, everyone came together to celebrate the start of an initiative that has already made an impact in the Zurich startup ecosystem. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The night was all about open conversations, new connections, excitement on what the future will bring (plus, fun moments of singing and gathering around the piano! 👀 ). A huge thank you to our sponsors, Founderful, Alfred, HITS - House of Insurtech Switzerland, Project A, and more, for helping make J floor possible in the first place. To my friends and fellow board members Nikos, Matteo, Riccardo, and Jan, I'm so grateful to have the chance to build this together with you and all the great people who are part of this amazing community. A special mention to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the event run smoothly, and to every person who joined us and made the launch unforgettable. J floor would be just an empty space without you. This is only the beginning. Welcome to J floor. Kaitlynn A. Hawranke - Harrison Fayçal M'hamdi Simon Iyamu Perisanidis Gregor Kisters Alejandro R.
