Swiss EP experts

Swiss EP experts are founders and employees at fast-scaling startups, subject-matter professionals, investors, and startup ecosystem builders in their countries. They have expertise in anything from marketing and branding to operations, co-working, fundraising finance, tech, scaling, and more. And are keen, ready and excited to pay forward and immerse themselves in vibrant, emerging startup ecosystems.

Successful experts share common attributes that extend beyond their deep subject-matter expertise:

• Collaborative approach: They coach and mentor rather than instruct, helping mentees become independent in their decision-making.
• Cultural awareness: They take the time to understand the culture of the country they’re working in and check their biases and expectations.
• Growth mindset: They embrace giving and seeking constructive feedback.
• Low ego: They believe they will get as much out of the experience as they give.

Experts contribute their time and knowledge, and the Swiss EP team takes care of everything else—from contracting to introducing the startup ecosystem of the expert's destination. Experts usually mentor startup ecosystem builders and entrepreneurs by challenging long-held beliefs, sharing their expertise, delivering hands-on workshops, and offering strategic advice to help build a stronger, more viable startup scene.
