When it comes to transforming a business idea into a successful product, most people either have a technological or a business-oriented skill set. In Switzerland, there are a lot of highly talented and well-educated students from ETH, EPFL and HSG, all with brilliant business ideas. Having those students team up to establish a startup, or just drawing them together to share their knowledge and experiences with each other has enormous potential. That is exactly what the Swiss Sequoia Club wants to achieve. We bring together highly motivated people from ETH, EPFL and HSG to connect the student startup ecosystems of Zurich, Lausanne and St. Gallen. We strive for a Swiss environment in which smart ideas result in fast growing, long lasting companies.
