Welcome to our VC Academy application page! 🚀

Joining our program accounts for 6 to 8 hours of volunteering work per week during two semesters. You will gain skills and network in the tech and VC space, join a great community of students and build your personal brand, all while investing in the hottest startups from Swiss universities!
Please fill in the form below (for the open questions, keep it <500 characters). We will review your application in January for Spring intakes and in July for Fall intakes. The application process consists of around 2-3 calls.

Let's start with some information about yourself.

Do you understand that the role involves a certain workload, can you envision yourself meeting and evaluating student founders, attending events, partaking in team activities?

The time commitment is equivalent to that of a student association (6 to 8 hours per week) and requires that you have a strong interest in the space. In exchange, the program will be rewarding from a learning, personal brand and networking standpoint.
