FAQ

A public founder challenge by HeyCo. We pick one lean founding team — solo or a duo — and build a successful company together. On TikTok, the journey is public.

Solo founders or a duo (max. 2) in CH, DE, AT or LI. Early stage: idea or early product — no finished setup needed. Preferably tech/service/B2B with AI leverage and ~1M year-1 revenue potential. Ready to build in public.

Support worth up to CHF/EUR 50’000: we help bring your idea to life, take it to market, push toward product-market fit — with AI leverage, tech, marketing and mentoring.

We invest our team, know-how and execution — so you don’t build alone. The goal: a company that works.

Yes. We build together — that’s the deal. We talk terms clearly with finalists.

Post a TikTok (max 90 sec) with #heycofounderchallenge, starting with “I’m joining the HeyCo Founder Challenge…”. Then paste the video link in the form. No link — no application. Open until the Season deadline.

No hard cap. Apply while Season 1 is open. When time’s up, we select Top 20 — then Top 10 → Top 3 → winner.

Your entry video spreads the challenge — and builds your own audience. Later, votes and the winner journey stay public.

Yes. The Challenge is public by design — video, profile and story can appear on TikTok, heyco.ch and related channels. Details: Participation Terms and Privacy Notice.
