Dear MassChallenge Community,

Our mission is to catalyze a global startup renaissance. We are the most startup-friendly accelerator on the planet: we take no equity in startups and run as not-for-profit. We are obsessed with helping entrepreneurs across all industries! Our program works on a yearly calendar, starting with the selection of candidates between January and May, and then an acceleration phase of 4 months, during which we host our startups and expose them to intensive mentorship. The winners are selected at the end of the acceleration, and will share a non-dilutive cash award of up to CHF1 million.

MassChallenge is located across 6 sites around the world: Boston, Israel, Mexico, London, and Lausanne. The Swiss program is currently in its second edition. This year, we received applications from over 450 startups! After the selection process, we welcomed 74 startups in our premises at Renens, near Lausanne.

In order to get closer to these entrepreneurs, we would like to invite you to our Startup Showcase event, that will take place on July 18th, in Renens.

We look forward to welcome you in our premises and thank you for joining us on this journey to turn dreams into reality.

Thierry Duvanel

Managing Director, MassChallenge Switzerland
