Igor Fisch

Entrepreneur Dr. Igor Fisch is CEO of Selexis SA, which he co-founded in 2001 after having previously worked in research in the fields of protein chemistry and molecular biology.

Selexis SA is a global leader in mammalian cell-line development. In June 2017, Selexis was acquired by JSR Corporation, a Japanese company that is entering into the business of life sciences.

I have experienced the great impact and importance of early support myself. When I was at the very beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, I was supported by NETS, the predecessor program of venture leaders. After a successful exit with Selexis, I promised myself I would do my best to help Venture Kick to continue offering such invaluable help to startups. Let’s kick the next generation of entrepreneurs and enable them to shape the future!
