Discovering breakthrough innovations through the eyes of the next generation.
Discovering breakthrough innovations through the eyes of the next generations
Students have clear advantages over established investors when it comes to understanding the needs of the next generation. We believe that a student-run operation will discover several breakthrough ideas and novel business models of their peers that would otherwise have a hard time getting funding in Europe.
Students run the whole VC operation and are supported by a strong network of advisors & mentors & board of directors. S2S publishes the investment criteria and other documents that will help to bring transparency into the community.
The investment committee consists of representatives from leading student organizations ("Club of Clubs") and is driving the investment of 10 million CHF into university-linked start-ups over the next few years.
50% of the carry goes to our student team and student organizations
Investors in S2S Ventures enjoy a unique deal flow with a typical VC fee model while giving back to the ecosystem. From the carry, we donate 50% to the students who have been involved in our team and to student organizations to strengthen the ecosystem in a sustainable way. The annual management fee is directly used for events, team-building, operational expenses, and to provide ecosystem support & partnerships. No salaries are paid to the student teams or BoD/advisors.
Our student team sources, evaluates, and decides on investing in student startups.
The advisory board brings in decades of experience from venture capital investing and deep-tech entrepreneurship to mentor the next generation of investors.
Our alumni go on in studies, industry, and academic careers. They remain connected to the organization as collaborating venture partners, and are a reference for their deals.
