Startup Support

For over 5 years I have been helping and mentoring early stage startups and entrepreneurs. I love to see startups grow and entrepreneurs succeed.

For four years, I was a mentor for the Food-X Accelerator program.

Mentoring activities include:

  • Strategy and Market Positioning
  • Fundraising including Pitch Deck
  • Dynamics of Venture Capital
  • International Expansion
  • Expanding Network
  • Business Development
  • Supply Chain and Distribution

Venture Capital Academy Switzerland

In 2018 and 2019 in collaboration with the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Business, I initiated and organized the first Venture Capital Academy Switzerland.
