Skilder awarded a CHF 20,000 Digital Grant by the FIT

The grant was announced alongside support for two other Vaud start-ups: Isospec Analytics, an EPFL spin-off specialising in the identification of biological molecules for medical research, which received a CHF 400,000 Tech Growth loan, and MYSTONES, which received a CHF 20,000 Digital Grant for its athlete monitoring platform.

The problem Skilder is solving

In most companies, every employee uses AI tools their own way. Working methods, internal rules and hard-won best practices stay buried in individual conversations — they are never shared at the scale of the organisation.

Skilder offers a platform that lets teams centralise those working methods and make them available across all the AI tools already used inside the company — with no technical skills required, and without replacing the tools already in place.

What the grant will fund

The CHF 20,000 Digital Grant will allow Skilder to refine the platform together with its first customers and to expand its presence in the market.

Concretely, that means going deeper with the teams already using Skilder, tightening the product around what actually works in day-to-day use, and reaching more companies facing the same fragmentation of AI practices.
