FAQs
Does the application cost anything?
No, the submission is completely free of charge.
How many startups are selected?
A maximum of 3 cases will be given the go-ahead to run a financing round on OOMNIUM with anchor capital from ABS. If fewer applications meet the criteria, correspondingly fewer cases will be selected.
Does fundraising cost me anything if I am selected?
A success-based commission (4-7%) is charged.
Can I apply if I have already been approved for funding in the current round?
Yes, provided you also require at least CHF 400,000 in capital.
How long does the process take?
Approx. 3–4 months from application to closing.
How will I know whether I have been selected or not?
Selected startups will be contacted directly. Those not selected will remain in the pipeline for future rounds.
What if I do not meet all the criteria?
Apply anyway. We assess holistically.
How do you ensure that our values align with yours?
The ABS Innovation Fund conducts a values assessment: Does the startup fit the attitude and philosophy of the ABS (systemic management, real impact)? This takes place through several discussions with the ABS throughout the entire process. The values fit is crucial for the selection.
