Orientation in the Swiss start-up ecosystem
The Swiss startup ecosystem is powerful and diverse – but difficult to navigate. Founders, investors and supporters often make decisions without comparable reference points.
There is a lack of independent, transparent guidance: Which hubs deliver measurable success? Which coaches have proven impact? Which programs really work?
Startup Selection Switzerland creates this comparability – scientifically sound, editorially independent and freely accessible to all stakeholders.
Stakeholders can apply themselves (self-disclosure) or be nominated by others.
Structured data collection (20–40 min) and validation by ZHAW.
Independent evaluation, plausibility checks and score calculation.
Publication of rankings in NZZ environment and on this platform.
Paid Selection Label – only when criteria are met.
Swiss Startup Selection captures the defining players of the Swiss startup ecosystem – structured in six curated categories.
