Startups supported by the jFund

Entrepreneurship and innovation are very important to us. For this reason, we also support startups and innovation around ETH.

As a student consultancy, we have been connecting ETH with industry for many years. Parallel to our expertise in project management, the number of our former members, also known as ETH seniors, is growing. Many of these ETH seniors founded their own startup after their time with ETH juniors. Since innovation and entrepreneurship are extremely close to our hearts and we want to promote them, the jFund was created in 2014. With the help of this fund, we are able to support start-ups of current and former ETH juniors members with seed capital and at the same time accelerate their development.

The fund is supported by ETH juniors, companies, former members and friends of the association.
