Opportunity for USA, Canada, and International startup businesses to participate in a cohort-based program in Switzerland that will offer business mentorship and resources to foster company growth. Applicants must pre-register prior to submitting an application. This program is designed to support innovators from different sectors by connecting high-impact startups with the resources they need to launch and succeed.
The 2021 program will run as scheduled, but will begin online and will only transition to hybrid or in-person programming and events when the safety of the community can be ensured. 2021 has planned physical events, but as no one knows how the pandemic will play out, the accelerator program is designed to be an on-line/on-site hybrid. Operating this way will enable startups from anywhere in the world to take part in the accelerator - yes most of the startups come from Switzerland and the EU, but the opportunity is open to startups from any country.
Since 2016, MassChallenge Switzerland has been a leader in helping startups across Europe grow their businesses by accelerating 396 startups across multiple industries that have raised more than $318M in funding.
