You have a job today
You are employed, thinking seriously about starting your own business, and you want to make the transition responsibly — not by jumping blind.
18-month business development programme · in partnership with Ayya Consultants GmbH
Leave your day job with a plan, not just a dream.
A structured, one-to-one programme that takes you from employee to entrepreneur in 18 months — from your first business idea to a validated offer, real customers and a company that stands on its own.
CHF 9,500 · full programme · limited places per cohort
Made for the moment you decide to go independent
You have an idea (or almost)
Whether your idea is clear or still forming, we start at the foundations: your vision, the market need, and a business model that can actually carry you.
You want structure, not theory
Every phase ends with something concrete: a validated offer, a registered company, working finances, paying customers. No slideware — deliverables.
The programme

In their words
People who took the leap
“The programme gave me the structure I was missing. Eighteen months later I run my business full-time and I have never looked back.”
“I knew I wanted to leave my job but had no idea how to start. The step-by-step phases made it feel achievable instead of terrifying.”
“Having someone experienced to check my numbers and my plan every month is what kept me on track. Worth every franc.”
