Kickstart - The Swiss Accelerator
Description
Kickstart – the Swiss Accelerator is a fast-track gateway for entrepreneurs from near and far to access the Swiss innovation ecosystem. Kickstart is the most ambitious Swiss startup accelerator program to date.
Our four verticals in FinTech, Smart & Connected Machines, Food and Future & Emerging Technologies are focusing on innovation areas that Switzerland shows a competitve advantage. The startups of all verticals will be working in the same office space enabling them to benefit from interdisciplinary exchanges. The program starts in Summer 2016.
Never before has Switzerland or Europe had a multi-corporate and equity-free accelerator program welcoming founders from around the world. Backed by academia, corporates and the local startup ecosystem, it aims to put Switzerland on the map by bringing some of the most promising early-stage startups from different fields to Switzerland for three months, and doing everything in its power to make them succeed.
At Kickstart we think of mentoring as building a relationship with someone who accompanies and inspires you along your journey. Our experts form ETH, one of the globally top ranked universities, VCs, serial entrepreneurs and industry experts in the field of the four verticals are available to support each startup.
