My organisation
About me
I am the Founder &CEO of InnoGrant Advisors boutique innovation and funding consultancy, where we as management consultants focus on scaling innovation through combining public and private funding for companies in European, UK and DACH national funding, and private investments. We offer full funding support for both companies and investors.
Having led corporate open innovation globally, and worked as corporate venture capitalist in the chemicals and life sciences, I am deeply involved in deal flows and investment opportunities in Switzerland, Europe and beyond, building strategic partnerships between industry, academia, RTOs and startups.
As Innosuisse Innovation Mentor I guide Swiss SME's in their funding journey through Swiss and European funding, including EUREKA.
As EIC BAS Ecosystem Partner and Entrepreneur in Residence, I helped build PureSurf venture, developing extremely high performing, sustainable, and biobased surfactants.
