01We are enablers
The builders and the companies are the heroes of the weekend. Our job is to set the stage, remove friction and get out of the way.
About sprintd
Who we are, and why we do this
sprintd runs innovation sprints in Switzerland. Two founders, one mission: enable builders and companies to do their best work together.
Why we do this
“It is pure win-win, and we were hooked.”
Alexandros Riggenbach & Carl Kohler, co-founders
We met as students at the University of St. Gallen and ended up running student hackathons together. We built the whole program from the ground up, hit every problem you can imagine, and somewhere in the middle realised it was the most fulfilling thing either of us had done. The energy, the people, what gets built in a weekend, it is pure win-win, and we were hooked. So we made a mission of it: enable people, give companies and builders a place to do their best work, and unify the people who build. That is sprintd, and that is why we do it.
We enable people to drive innovation.
01
02Win-win, every time
Companies get real solutions, builders get real problems, a stage and people worth knowing. A sprint only works if everyone leaves better off.
03Every domain at the table
Developers, designers, business minds and the experts who know the problem. More angles on the same question means better answers.
