Innosuisse x SurroundPower

Innosuisse is the Swiss agency for innovation promotion and finances start-ups as well as research projects. It is particularly known for its coaching programs. At the beginning of 2023, we decided to apply for this coaching program.

The first step is to apply for initial coaching, whereby you can receive coaching services worth up to CHF 10,000 from experts from countless fields, provided you are accepted by Innosuisse.

After our application was received by Innosuisse and we had to answer questions again in a short call, we were accepted and from then on were part of the Innosuisse coaching program.

After just a few months of great collaboration with our coach, the budget was slowly but surely running out. The next logical step was to apply for core coaching, which we then tackled. Once again, a detailed application followed by a detailed pitch was necessary to convince the jury of us and our idea.

And here, too, we can proudly say: it worked! We are in Innosuisse Core Coaching.

On the one hand, we can now continue our collaboration with our coach and, on the other, the acceptance for Core Coaching in the Startup Space serves as a kind of seal of approval for our startup.

We would therefore like to express our sincere thanks to Innosuisse and our coach Dorina Bührle!
