Your real odds
More than 100 startups compete, but the field splits across 7 tracks, so you are effectively competing within a vertical rather than against everyone.
Prizes range from ecosystem access and masterclasses up to CHF 50,000 cash, and past winners have raised CHF 7.8M to CHF 20M in follow-on rounds, which suggests the signal carries real weight with investors.

Worth knowing
You must purchase a Startup Ticket before you can apply, so factor that cost into your decision before committing, and if you are Swiss-based and focused on sustainability, the Swiss Sustainable Impact Award carries the largest single prize at CHF 50,000.
