Venture Kick is an initiative of the Kick Foundation.
The Venture Kick philanthropic initiative provides up to CHF 150,000 in seed funding to Swiss startups and offers a well-structured entrepreneurial path toward building a winning business. Startups pitch to expert juries at three stages to obtain funding and gain direct feedback and access to an international network of 200 successful entrepreneurs and investors. Winners of Venture Kick are eligible for a CHF 850,000 investment from the Kickfund and an InnoBooster grant of an additional CHF 150,000.
Since its launch in 2007, Venture Kick has supported 1,111 Swiss startup projects with CHF 58.6 million. Thanks to financial support, coaching and networking with investors, this initiative has led to the emergence of 897 incorporated startups and the creation of 14,441 jobs. Venture Kick counts a portfolio of 757 active high-tech companies and 88 exits. Venture Kick alumni companies have attracted a total of CHF 9 billion and represent 66 companies ranked in the latest TOP 100 Swiss Startups.
In 2023, Venture Kick paid out 6.3 million Swiss francs to startup projects from Swiss universities to bring science-based innovations to global markets.
The Venture Kick Foundation is supported by Gebert Rüf Stiftung, Ernst Göhner Stiftung, Hauser-Stiftung, Fondation ALCEA, André Hoffmann, Hansjörg Wyss, Martin Haefner, Fondation ProTechno, ESA BIC Switzerland, Swisscom, Lichtsteiner Fondation, and Deep Tech Nation Switzerland.
