Talent Kick will help you to find a co-founder with a complementary skillset and get a hands-on experience as an entrepreneur. During the program you create a stable foundation for yourself to confidently decide for the entrepreneurial career path after your studies!

Program Overview
Talent Kick is a highly selective, cross-university program for 2 to 4 semesters until your graduation that will help you find an interdisciplinary co-founder team and combine your studies with an entrepreneurial journey.
The 1st semester is designed around Bootcamps, events, workshops, and coaching which will enable you to form a stable team and a strong bond with your co-founders, develop your leadership skills, get a first direction, and validate your technology/problem space more in-depth. This will prepare you to take control of your entrepreneurial journey. The most successful students will get an initial funding and move on to semesters 2 – 4.
The 2nd to 4th semesters are focused on building your network, getting valuable input from experienced entrepreneurs, executives, potential customers, investors, and experts to validate your first ideas hands-on, using synergies with your studies, and connecting to further programs and funding sources to prolong your runway.

At the end of the program the best participants will have…

• Validated Ideas
• Secured Fundings
• Co-founder secured and/or company founded
• Immersed in the Swiss and international entrepreneurial ecosystems
• Runway extended through other support programs Swiss-wide & from global program partners
