Business Ideas
Module 1
18:00 - 19:30
Feel the Startup-Groove of NIKIN and CASUS !
At our Business Ideas Events you will meet successful founders and alumni of past Innosuisse Start-up Trainings or the representative university. They share their success and failure stories as well as their personal start-up experiences.
In this issue, you get inspired by two successful Swiss Startups:
- NIKIN was founded in 2016 with only CHF 5,000 in capital and has remained independent of any investors or bank loans ever since. Co-founder Nicholas Hänny’s vision: to make sustainable fashion affordable. In just five years, NIKIN has planted over 1 million trees and has now 40 employees. Find out how Nicholas managed to turn his vision into reality with only a small amount of start-up capital.
- CASUS was founded in 2019 as a LegalTech start-up in Zurich. The vision: to create a digital legal department and thus make it easier for SMEs to access law. Co-founder Céline Spillmann will tell you what it’s like to take the step into self-employment while studying, tell you about her everyday life as a tech entrepreneur and share her experiences in the startup world with you.
This event is co-organized with the university of Zurich and the UZH Innovation Hub.
