Accelerating the startups!

BOOST is an initiative by the ETH Entrepreneur Club and ETH juniors designed to help ETH-affiliated startups transition from concept to incorporation. After a competitive selection process, 10 early-stage teams are matched with experienced mentors at the Kickoff Event on March 25, 2025, kicking off an intensive program of workshops and personalized counseling. Over the following weeks, these startups refine their business cases, preparing for the Final Event, at May 5th,—a public pitching competition before a live audience and a jury of distinguished experts from the startup ecosystem.

This year, the stakes are higher than ever, with a CHF 40'000 prize pool. The top winners also receive a comprehensive legal and strategic package from EMBARK covering everything from incorporation and shareholders’ agreements to reverse vesting, IP assignments, and immigration support—plus 20 hours of tailored guidance through EMBARK.Accelerate.

If you’re an ETH-affiliated founder ready to build, grow, and thrive, don’t miss BOOST—your gateway to expert mentorship, invaluable exposure, and the support you need to launch a successful venture.

2023 Winner: qCella

qCella impregnates natural fibers with copper and use them to develop heating mats with superior properties compared to commercially available heating wires. The mats have the proper electrical resistance across the entire structure so that they heat homogeneously when connected to a power source (e.g., a battery). The thinness and smoothness of the heating mats allow for more energy-efficient heating by eliminating the need for a heat-losing upholstery layer between mat and human body. The heating mats can be cut into any shape and size and are easily and cost-effectively integrated into the final heated product.
