"Participating in EIT FAN run by MassChallenge in Switzerland was an amazing experience and a HUGE value add. They have offered us workshops run by experts as well as introductions and visits to several global corporates. We would not be able to access such great mentors if not for them and we would not be able to expand to the Swiss market so swiftly. Overall, we are extremely thankful for giving us an opportunity and taking us onto the program."
— Monika Tomecka, Co-Founder and Director of uFraction8, WINNER EIT-FAN 2019
“Being part of the EIT Fan Accelerator Network and accelerated by MassChallenge Switzerland was an amazing experience where we had the opportunity to learn all the different subjects on how to build a successful startup. The direct access to the corporate partners was also an added value of this accelerator. We strongly recommend the MassChallenge Switzerland location for its excellent organisation and team support we received during the entire program and beyond”
— Tiago Pessoa, Founder of Agri MarketPlace, WINNER EIT-FAN 2018
“We were very impressed by the efficiency and professionalism of the MassChallenge staff and program. The team always looked after our interests, connecting us with the right corporate partners and had a good feeling for the stage and needs of each startup. We have filled our 2019 pipeline with the best multinationals we could ask for, right at our doorstep. The years of experience running a global accelerator were clear and much appreciated.”
— Daniel Protz, CEO & Founder of FlavorWiki (2018)
“What is very unique about FAN/MassChallenge Switzerland is the fact that it successfully combines a north-American “no fear to fail” bravado and risk-investing mindset with the European technical rigor and academic heritage, attracting some of the best startups. This unique formula will lead to a future “power house” of the European economic system, driving economic growth and job creation. FAN/MassChallenge can provide to its partners elements such as entrepreneurial spirit, selectivity and a sense of urgency that can fortify and boost one’s commitments and goals.”
— Ian Roberts, CTO, Bühler (2016-present)
