Building a start-up has never been easy. Very specific challenges such as balancing time and money resources while at the same time defining your strategy and brand positioning. We love start-ups and have been giving them the right boost for a whole decade now.

We offer business model assessments, reviews of strategic directions, and practical advice on every aspect concerning the growth of your business. We continue to develop SEF.Growth into THE growth programme to promote entrepreneurship in Switzerland.

Sandro SchmidCEO and founder, AAAccell Ltd

We found working with the SEF.Growth team of experts to be a professional, understanding and fruitful experience. The experts asked lots of important questions, which helped us to hone our profile and reflect on our strategy. The journey was the aim in itself, and the label was the cherry on top.

The SEF.Growth process included discussions with a panel of experienced entrepreneurs and domain experts. We received some highly valuable insights and feedback that confirmed our profitable growth strategy.
