FOR START-UPS

A start-up not only has to develop a viable product and/or service offering, but also build a company from scratch, raise funds, hire the best team, implement all operational processes and administration tools, contract strategic partners and suppliers, identify the first customers before having anything to sell, etc.

We help you overcoming some of your biggest challenges:

 

• Define your goals and mission statement.

 

• Devise an action plan and budget based on SWOT & risk analysis.

 

• Prepare pitch and business plan for fundraising: get grants, subsidies, and investments.

 

• Implement your “make-or-buy” strategy: focus on your unique strengths and competitive advantages, delegate all the rest to subcontractors, consultants and strategic partners.

 

• Implement lean and efficient organization and processes to get ready for growth and scale-up.

FOR INVESTORS

We help investors assessing innovative technologies, business models and impact missions, but also ensuring the execution of the plan in a timely, sustainable, and scalable manner by:

 

• Supporting due diligence process with assessment of new concepts and technologies, project charters, business plans, teams and markets.

 

• Defining regular milestones and the required resources, as well as KPIs to track progresses and anticipate or detect any deviation from the plan.

 

• Accelerating implementation and minimizing risks by helping management teams to build the launching ramp, from hiring the right team to finding the strategic deployment partners.

 

• Fostering efficient and streamlined communication between the executive management and the Board of Directors.

FOR SMEs AND LARGER COMPANIES

Swiss market is small, and exports to traditional markets in Europe and the USA are often stagnating, when not decreasing. Emerging markets in southern countries offer high potential growth drivers for Swiss industries having very competitive advantages to address some of the challenges found on those markets.

In addition, internationalization of the commercial reach generally goes together with an increased impact on global issues requiring sustainable and scalable solutions.

Innovative Swiss-quality solutions have the potential to have large positive impact, especially when they are developed or deployed in partnership with Southern partners who know how to deploy solutions rapidly and efficiently in the most challenging places.

We can support your growth with strategic marketing activities:

 

• Assess new markets, specify requirements for appropriate solutions and develop sound go-to-market strategies.

 

• Devise & implement sustainable and scalable strategies generating high profitability together with significant impact on social and environmental issues.

 

• Build bridges between stakeholders from different fields, cultures, and countries to foster communication, collaboration & co-design of innovative technical and business solutions.
