What others say about working with us
Quote from Manu Lubrano (Involi):
«Swisscom helped us demonstrate the need for our product by giving us access to their infrastructure and by supporting us in shaping our business. I am impressed by how a big company as Swisscom can be so dynamic and startup oriented!»
What we are interested in:
- We look for disruptive ideas, technology and business models that radically change the way we think about a market. We are not looking for incremental improvements.
- You must be a tech start-up. Not a lifestyle business or SME.
- You have validated your business model with paying customers and have a clear competitive advantage. You can apply your go-to-market strategy or it is already established.
- You need to want to conquer the world , even if focused locally at present. We need a global mindset.
- Most importantly, you need to be a passionate, smart, talented team that can execute an exceptional standard.
How it works
1. Collect & Evaluate
A good match between your start-up and Swisscom is important to us. We carefully check applications and analyse how we can best complement each other as partners and profitably combine our respective strengths.
2. Co-Creation & Proof of Concept
After adding you to our programme, we work together to develop the product further. We test the solution internally or place it in one of our sales channels and collect customer feedback.
3. Implementation
If a partnership makes sense for both parties, we will decide together what form it should take. This can range from the sale of the solution to us to acquisition of the start-up by Swisscom.
