Mission

STARTUPS.CH passionately helps young entrepreneurs. We think that everyone who becomes his or her own boss is a better boss. For that reason we help budding entrepreneurs on the way to independence by giving them advice and offering them services tailored to their needs. With our help, the entrepreneurs take their first steps to success. Together with them we found their business, advise and train them in the areas they want to educate themselves, furthermore immersing them into a valuable entrepreneurial network. With targeted services, STARTUPS.CH relieves the entrepreneurs of the burden of tasks they are not apt at or for which they do not have the necessary know-how (like, for instance, accounting, taxes, trademark protection etc.)

We motivate and inspire by showing possibilities, because in the past we have learned that where there is a will, there is a way. This is also the spirit we would like to pass on to you.
