Reshape Systems receives CHF 150,000 from Venture Kick to transform risk analysis with AI
02.12.2025
The ICT startup Reshape Systems has obtained CHF 150,000 from Venture Kick to develop an AI-powered software platform that simplifies and accelerates risk analysis for complex technical systems. The CERN spin-off is creating a digital co-pilot that helps engineers cut development time, reduce costs, and improve product reliability across industries.

Complex systems such as smartphones, autonomous vehicles, or drones are now part of everyday life. As these technologies evolve, ensuring their reliability and safety becomes increasingly difficult. Engineers face growing pressure to deliver products faster and at lower cost while navigating rising system complexity, workforce shortages, and stringent compliance requirements. Traditional risk analysis methods struggle to keep pace with these demands, making innovation both costly and slow.
The CERN spin-off Reshape Systems develops an AI-driven software solution that automates and enhances the risk analysis process for complex systems. Acting as a risk analysis co-pilot, the platform uses generative AI to manage the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks, assisting engineers and domain experts in identifying, documenting, and mitigating potential risks. The result is up to 80% lower engineering costs, 10 times faster product development, and improved system reliability across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
Reshape targets the large risk analysis market, which includes industrial sectors such as transportation, aerospace, and energy. These industries currently spend over $12 billion annually on risk analysis, and this expenditure is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to increasing safety challenges associated with emerging technologies such as drones.
The CHF 150,000 from Venture Kick will enable a quick team expansion and to accelerate the development and implementation of Reshape’s product roadmap.
Dr. Andrea Apollonio and Dr. Thomas Cartier-Michaud co-founded the company after more than ten years of experience in industrial risk analysis and artificial intelligence. Their combined expertise in high-stakes engineering environments and advanced data-driven methods enables the ICT startup to bring a new generation of intelligent tools to the engineering software market.
“Venture Kick has been a key enabler to push our sales pipeline and sharpen our product roadmap,” highlighted CEO Andrea Apollonio.
