Community & Café des Amis | startup space Lausanne
COMMUNITY

Where contacts become allies.

The startup space network connects founders, entrepreneurs and experts across Switzerland. In Lausanne, the heart beats especially loud.

ONE NETWORK. THREE LOCATIONS.

The startup space community is national.

What began in Zurich now spans three locations: Zurich, Uzwil and Lausanne. Over 200 companies, hundreds of founders and one shared goal: to get ahead. Not alone, but together.

ON SITE IN ETOY

More than a coworking space. A home for doers.

The community space in Etoy is where the network comes alive. Here you meet faces, not profiles. Here you brainstorm over coffee, collaborate over lunch and celebrate over apéro.

Regular events, open doors and a team that takes care of everything you don't have on your radar. So you can focus on what matters.
