Balint Horvath is the founder and host of The Hardware Entrepreneur podcast, where he’s hosted me twice. He’s an entrepreneur and cosmopolitan, originally from Hungary, now based in the heart of Europe, in Switzerland, as he puts it, “where green is green regarding its pastures, mountains and where fresh innovations make the country as one of the top places for innovation.”

He is a physicist and an electrical engineer, with a PhD in the former, an M.Sc. in the latter fields. Balint has always been fascinated by technology and how things work which led him to a path to explore engineering and physics first in academia, then in the industry, in his last role as R&D Program Manager for Manufacturing. Inventions and ones that can be turned into innovations creating business opportunities are what excite him the most.

Balint supported me tremendously in starting this podcast. I am grateful for his insight, understanding, and support that came in part from our similar transitions from science to business-as-helping-people. I think you’ll hear that connection in our conversations.
