SEED & PRE-SEED
Supporting Projects at the Beginning of Their Journey
For innovative projects at an early stage, we help teams move from a promising idea or concept toward a structured and finance-ready project.
The process begins by clarifying the idea, team, objectives and project needs, while assessing whether the project is suitable for a relevant funding opportunity. Syntezia then supports teams in understanding the requirements of the selected programme, preparing the necessary documents and coordinating the different elements of the financing application.
Particular attention is given to being ready well before the submission deadline, ensuring that the project, documentation and team are aligned before the application is submitted.
Through its network and experience in investment preparation, Syntezia can also help teams strengthen their financing strategy, market positioning and product or service offering, ensuring that the project responds to a genuine market need
Our support can include:
- Project and team eligibility assessment
- Identification of suitable funding opportunities
- Financing strategy
- Preparation of application documents
- Investment readiness
- Market and value proposition preparation
- Connection with relevant partners and networks
- Support throughout the submission process
FUNDING IN SWITZERLAND
Navigating Switzerland's Innovation & Funding Ecosystem
Switzerland offers a diverse ecosystem of public and private financing opportunities for innovation, research, entrepreneurship and sustainable development. Syntezia helps project teams understand this landscape and identify opportunities that correspond to their stage, sector and ambitions.
As a Swiss company based in Geneva, Syntezia can support projects looking to develop within the Swiss innovation ecosystem while also helping connect Swiss projects and organizations with international and European opportunities. This includes identifying relevant partners, funding programmes and consortia, as well as exploring opportunities for projects with strong innovation, sustainability or societal impact.
Syntezia's experience also extends to European programmes such as Horizon Europe, where it can participate as a Swiss associated partner and contribute to consortia in areas including health, digital and industry, climate, energy and mobility, bioeconomy and natural resources, and civil security.
Funding pathways may include:
- Swiss public funding and innovation programmes
- Research and innovation funding
- Private financing and investors
- Pre-seed and seed funding
- European funding programmes
- Venture capital
- Strategic partnerships and co-financing
- Investment-readiness support
Finding funding is only one part of the process. A strong project also needs a clear value proposition, a credible business model, the right partners and a well-prepared team.
Syntezia brings these elements together to help innovative projects move from opportunity identification to a structured, investment-ready proposition.
