Founding a company: When you take your school assignment a bit too serious... - Rob Lenferink

Nowadays, a lot of students seem to want to move away from the East after the graduate, as the West supposedly would have more to offer. Though, is this assumption fair? Enschede houses a lot of innovative, very student friendly engineering companies, of which Dynteq is one of the best examples. In this episode we talk with Rob Lenferink, who founded Dynteq with two of his friends after they developed their plan during and after a school assignment. How did all of this come to be, what is the company involved in now and how can an engineering student prepare themselves for Dynteq (or another engineering company)? Find out here and now! As our committee consists entirely of students, every now and then comes a time that some of our members graduate, or find another path in life, and therefore move on from the university and our committee. Currently we have arrived at one of these points, which means that we will have to take some time to find some fresh recruits for our podcast. At the same time, the recording studio is going into a renovation, which prevents us from using it. Though, as we need some time to extend our member count anyway, this will probably not limit us all that much. We hope you are looking forward to our return, and to meet some new faces in the future!
