$100k Pitch Competition! ETH ZURICH!
Boost VC partnered with the entrepreneurs club at ETH Zurich and Earthly VC to launch a pitch competition.
Recently we have been seeing a lot of great founders come out of a specific University in Zurich, called ETH Zurich.
It was curious to me at first, because I’ve never known Switzerland in terms of taking risks, and founders need to be built in a way to take the most amount of risk on themselves that they can. It turns out at the university there’s a special place where big ideas go to get started: The Student Project house!
"There’s no better place for an early-stage founder than the Student Project House. Our journey also started there." - Jan Schnyder CEO of Nunu
“It’s even more remarkable that, with so much entrepreneurial energy, Switzerland continues to project an image of stability, risk aversion” - Erik Aznauryan Founder of HarborSite
The talented pool of founders has been undeniable - We invested in 4 startups out of the school in the last year!
Nunu: Ai agent game testing
Ogment: The future of Ai agents
Loki Robotics: The dirty job of cleaning toilets… with robots
HarborSite: Bio startup focused on precision gene editing
Robotics, AI and Bio, all from one location! All talented and thinking large.
When we realized that the talent pool was dense, we decided to partner with the entrepreneurs at the school, our friend Arian from Earthling VC and put on a pitch competition!
Applications are due soon - so please apply here if you are interested.
