From Scientific Curious Minds to Soulmates: Dr Elina Berglund Scherwitzl and Dr Raoul Scherwitzl
Their story isn’t just about a successful startup; it’s about redefining what’s possible when love for discovery and a desire to help people intersect.
Some of the most extraordinary adventures begin with curiosity - and for Elina Berglund and Raoul Scherwitzl, curiosity was in their DNA. Before their paths ever crossed, each was deeply immersed in science:
Elina’s Passion for Discovery
Hailing from Sweden, Elina always had a fascination with physics and the hidden mysteries of our universe. That inquisitiveness led her to CERN, where she worked among a team of leading scientists on one of the biggest breakthroughs of our time: the discovery of the Higgs boson.Raoul’s Analytical Mind
Raoul, originally from Austria, was equally captivated by scientific exploration. A dedicated researcher and quantitative thinker, he found excitement in mathematics, data and the ways these fields could be used to solve real-world challenges.
Although they came from different corners of Europe, their love of knowledge - and readiness to explore uncharted territory - set them on a trajectory that was bound to intersect.
A Meeting of Hearts at the Frontiers of Physics
Their paths finally crossed in an environment that was just as dynamic as they were. Whether through scientific circles, collaborations, or chance gatherings at CERN, Elina and Raoul discovered something special in each other - not just a shared language of science, but a deep connection that transcended lab work and spreadsheets.
Common Ground: They both believed in finding practical ways to apply scientific thinking. The excitement of problem-solving fueled each conversation they had, whether it was over coffee or a friendly debate about the next big breakthrough in particle physics.
Friendship Turned to Love: Over time, professional discussions gave way to late-night talks about life ambitions, hopes for the future and eventually, a recognition that their bond went well beyond the lab.
When they decided to embark on life’s journey side by side, it felt like a natural progression - two brilliant, passionate people who found love in the midst of chasing monumental discoveries.
