The tech partner for Swiss startups

Your tech partner, from idea to scale-up

Since our founding, we've been supporting funded tech startups, EPFL spin-offs, and Innosuisse projects in building their digital products. From proof of concept to production deployment, we understand the constraints entrepreneurs face: limited budget, tight deadlines, need for rapid traction. Most of our startup clients come from the EPFL/Innosuisse ecosystem — we know the realities of scientific founders and the requirements of funding bodies.

Our approach is simple: we treat every startup project with the same level of technical rigor as our projects for institutions like CHUV or Le Temps. We offer a structured MVP development process to validate your concept quickly, along with cross-platform mobile app development to reach iOS and Android from day one.

Why startups choose us

Immersed in the innovation ecosystem

We're not an agency discovering startups for the first time. We've been embedded in the ecosystem since day one:

• EPFL Innovation Park — Supporting spin-offs and startups hosted at the Innovation Park
• Innosuisse projects — Familiar with applied research requirements
• SMEs and large organizations — Digitalization, new product launches, custom business applications
• Academic spin-offs — Transforming research results into products

Innosuisse implementation partner

Pneumoscope and Detectra are Innosuisse projects we developed. We know the reporting requirements, milestones, and pace of applied research projects. If you're preparing an Innosuisse application and need a named implementation partner, we can support you from the submission phase.

Optimized budget, preserved quality

Thanks to our cross-platform approach (Expo, React Native, Next.js), we deliver iOS, Android and web applications from a single codebase. Result: 30-40% savings compared to separate native development.

From 0 to 1, then from 1 to 100

We know how to build an MVP in 2-3 months, but also how to evolve a product toward scale-up. Our tech stack (TypeScript, React Native, Next.js) is designed to grow with your company.

Dedicated capacity

We work with 3 to 4 clients in parallel. Every project gets the full attention of our senior team — the same craft quality as large Swiss agencies, with the agility and efficiency of a 4-person senior team augmented by AI.

The Lausanne startup ecosystem advantage

Lausanne offers a unique environment for technology startups. EPFL Innovation Park, the Biopole campus, accelerators like Innosuisse, and proximity to Geneva create a dense, well-connected ecosystem. As an agency based in Lausanne, we know the key players, available support programs, and the specificities of the Swiss market. This local knowledge allows us to advise our startup clients not only on technical aspects, but also on how to best leverage this ecosystem to accelerate their growth.
