Project description

We support selected European tech startups on their path to investor readiness by giving founders access to our ecosystem, experts and capital. Our program builds the business and strategic capabilities needed to complement technical excellence, unlock growth and succeed in fundraising. Founders connect directly with investors as well as academic and industry leaders, and startups in our program receive a grant, with the possibility of additional investment where appropriate. We operate as a non-profit and were founded by the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland Innovation Park Ost and START Foundation.
