Navigating Innosuisse Mentorship & Maximizing Your Impact

If you’re exploring Innosuisse mentorship, you’re already taking a crucial step towards accelerating your innovation journey. Innosuisse offers valuable support for Swiss startups, and mentorship is a key component. But simply having a mentor isn’t enough – it’s about the type of mentorship and how actively you engage.

The "Expert" Perspective: Many founders treat mentorship as a transactional exchange: book a session, ask a question, get an answer. This is a limited approach. True growth comes from ongoing guidance, a sounding board for challenges as they arise, and a network that supports your evolution. Innosuisse can connect you with experienced individuals, but often lacks the structure for consistent, impactful engagement beyond initial introductions. This is where a dedicated growth network truly shines.

Actionable Steps to Enhance Your Innosuisse Mentorship:

• Define Clear Objectives: Before your first meeting, outline 3-5 specific goals you want to achieve through mentorship.
• Prepare Focused Questions: Don’t just ask “What should I do?” Frame questions around specific roadblocks and decisions.
• Document Key Insights: Keep a running log of advice, action items, and learnings from each session.
• Seek Feedback Regularly: Proactively ask your mentor for feedback on your progress and approach.
• Expand Your Network: Don’t rely solely on your mentor. Connect with peers facing similar challenges.
