If there are national soccer teams, why not national startups teams?

Even if Switzerland is not known as a ”first mover”, Switzerland has now the first “National Startup Team”! The team get evaluated by a competition called «venture leaders» organized by «venturelab», Ernst&Young, Swiss and the GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG.

The 23 winners of the «venture leaders» won besides the honour a unique 10-day-trip to Boston, including an entrepreneurship course @ Babson College, networking with venture capitalists and business opportunities.

Why it’s good to have a “National Startup Team”?

#1: Every way to promote entrepreneurship & startups within the society is a good way!

#2: The networking-effect among the “National Startup Team” is priceless!

#3: Wouldn’t motivate it you, to be on the “National Startup Team”?

#4: A ”National Startup Team” is interesting for the medias and can motivate others to start their own company.

#…

I’m eager to see, which country starts the next “National Startup Team”. Happy to hear from it!
