Vendor proposals

EPFL Startup Launchpad · Vendor proposals

Offering us a product or service?

This is the one place we review proposals from vendors, agencies, platforms and service providers. Skip the generic pitch: we want to know why we specifically would get value from what you offer.

How this works
  • We read every proposal, usually in batches.
  • If it makes sense for us, we'll reach out. If you don't hear from us, it's not a fit right now.
  • Please don't follow up by email, phone or LinkedIn. It won't speed anything up, and we don't book discovery calls or demos without a reason.
  • Answers that read like a template, or could apply to any organisation, are not considered.
01

Who you are

If we reach out, it's here.

02

What you offer

Plain words, no marketing copy.

A video, sandbox or live product we can look at without a call.

A shareable link (no attachments). Make sure it opens without a login.

03

Why us

The section we read first. Be specific to the EPFL Startup Launchpad, not to "startups" or "universities" in general.

Show us you looked. Who do we support, at what stage, and how?

A concrete gap, cost or friction you believe we have today, and how you know.

Who on our side would benefit? *

Something we could check: hours saved, money saved, more startups reaching a milestone, etc.

Incubators, accelerators, university programs or similar. Name them, and what it did for them. If none yet, say so.

04

Terms

What it would cost us, and what we'd need to put in.
