A small closed session with someone who actually made the jump. Rupert Ursin did his PhD under Anton Zeilinger and was Deputy Director at IQOQI Vienna, then founded qtlabs in 2017 and grew it into one of Austria's larger deep tech employers, still entirely privately owned. The format is deliberately blunt: what the path really looked like, what it cost, and what he wishes someone had told him at the start. Seats are limited and handpicked, so it stays small enough that you get to ask your own question.
