Entrepreneur Alumni

We bring together ETH alumni with a passion for business. ETH Entrepreneur Alumni was originally founded in 2016 for former committee members of the external pageETH Entrepreneur Clubcall_made and is now open to all entrepreneurs, business founders and anyone else in the ETH alumni ecosystem interested in business start-ups.

Vision

It is our goal to create a strong network for ETH graduates with a passion for business. We are a lively and international community of entrepreneurs and, through the potential for innovation offered by ETH, we hope to make Switzerland the epicentre of technology start-ups in Europe. In order to encourage dialogue and inspiration, we regularly organise events. It is also important for us to maintain contact with the ETH Entrepreneur Club because dialogue between students and alumni offers huge benefits to both parties.

Events

We regularly meet for informal social gatherings, such as a beer or our Entrepreneur Dinner. We also organise bigger events like start-up pitching events or excursions. Please contact the board if you have an idea for any kind of event. We are always open to creative ideas, anything ranging from basic meet-ups in a bar to weekend survival trips.

Membership with ETH Alumni

ETH Alumni are people who have completed an education at ETH Zürich or who have spent at least four semesters at ETH working as members of the academic faculty or as post-​​​​docs. Click here for more information on the "Alumni" status.

ETH alumni are entitled to a membership with the ETH Alumni Association. Members enjoy various benefits that are not available to non-​​​​members.

The membership fee is CHF 70/year. Upon registration, memberships in up to five affiliate organisations can be added free of charge. However, certain affiliate organisations charge additional fees to fund their annual programme. Alumni who do not wish to join a member organisation are automatically registered as direct members.

After graduating from ETH Zurich, graduates are automatically registered as members. However, a membership is free of charge until the age of 28 (year of birth). Thereafter, a membership fee is automatically charged, regardless of the graduate's age at graduation.
