Prestigious donors

Over two million in start capital each year

Four prestigious foundations finance the venture kick initiative : the GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG, the ERNST GÖHNER STIFTUNG, the OPO-STIFTUNG and the AVINASTIFTUNG.

SUPPORT VENTURE KICK

With a contribution to venture kick funds, you become an «ideal stockholder» of Swiss start-ups that are still in the very early stages. Without money. Without support. But with a high-potential business idea resulting from research carried out in a Swiss academic institution.

OUR GOAL IS TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF SPIN-OFFS AT SWISS ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

To achieve this ambitious goal, the initiative needs funds totaling CHF 5 million per year. We are looking for additional foundations, organizations and private individuals who are willing to provide promising Swiss spin-offs with small or large amounts of seed capital. You participate in the development of an excellent project that supports the entrepreneurial culture in Switzerland. That is your «dividend».

It is with great pleasure that we present you with concrete opportunities during a meeting with you. Please contact us!
