Our Community
What sets us apart at Impact Hub is our unique community of like-minded people.
Join our dynamic community and let yourself be inspired by the Impact Hub Vibe. Together, not each one on their own. Together, we form a network of several thousand people in Switzerland and around the world.
We are founders, innovators, creatives, freelancers, techies, and many other changemakers from startups, corporates, NGOs, and public institutions. What connects us is the passion to make an impact and change the world for the better.
Business Help Desk
Do you need professional advice for your startup?
The Business Help Desk is our format for personalized startup support provided by our long-standing experts in areas such as legal matters, accounting, (digital) marketing, human resources, sales & negotiation, and much more.
The experts' role is to answer your general questions, address specific issues, and challenge you (constructively). Each Business Help Desk is available regularly or upon request. Sessions last approximately 45 minutes and are conducted as one-on-one sessions.
For members of our community, the sessions are free of charge, while non-members are subject to a fee ranging from CHF 200-500.
For inquiries and further questions, please feel free to contact our Community Team directly.

Communities of Practice
Would you like to engage with people around a topic, support each other and learn together?
Community of practice (CoP) is our format of bringing people together around a shared topic. A CoP establishes an ongoing exchange with the purpose of enabling mutual support and learning, and the formation of relationships.
This is a space for you to tune in what is present for others, share challenges, perspectives, and learnings, get to know people with similar interests, geek about developments in the field, and meditate on the future.
Have a look at our current CoPs and feel free to join them. You are also welcome to initiate a CoP around a different topic. Every CoP once started with curious minds wanting to explore what this could become.
