Why now

The window is open —
and it won't stay open forever.

The Swiss professional market is experiencing its largest wave of senior-level displacement in a generation. UBS, Novartis, pharma, fintech — the roles being cut are exactly the roles Sparksli was built to help. These are not entry-level roles. They are senior, experienced professionals with deep domain expertise, institutional credibility, and no clear path forward.

Swiss UBS redundancies confirmed for H2 2026 — compliance, risk, operations
30%
of all Swiss 2025 redundancies came from pharma and life sciences alone
3.2%

They are not searching for another job. They are searching for a different future. That is what Sparksli is built for.

A real story

George's journey

George had been in risk management at a private bank in Zürich for 20 years. His default plan: go independent, offer consulting, trade on experience. He rated that plan 5 out of 10. In the free-text box he added: "Though I'm not fully convinced it's the right thing." Nine weeks later he pitched a business he actually believed in. Not consulting. Something built from who he really is.

I came in with a default idea and walked out with the right one. The process didn't give me the answer — it gave me the questions I hadn't thought to ask yet. That's the difference.

How it works

Three phases. One direction.

Every participant moves through the same three phases. The AI agents and online learning carry the workload between sessions. Around 10 hours of human contact per phase — workshops, 1:1 sessions, guest experts, and the cohort itself.

Phase 1
Innovation
Start with who you are, not what you've done. Values, motivators, skills inventory, ideation and down-selection. You leave with one idea you actually believe in.
Phase 2
Incubation
Build it. Find your first customers. Business plan, AI integration, sales, a dedicated mentor, and a pilot customer before the phase ends.
Phase 3
Alumni
A community of founders who have made the same move. Ongoing peer support, Sparksli Dialogues, and the option to mentor the next cohort.
The transformation

From expertise to independence.

This is not AI training. AI training sounds like a cost. Building a business sounds like an investment. Sparksli participants are not learning technology for its own sake — they are building income streams that do not depend on an employer.

Before
"I have expertise, but I depend on an employer."
After
"I have an AI-enabled business that generates income independently."
Before
Employee mindset. Selling time. Waiting for the next role.
After
Founder mindset. Scaling expertise. Creating rather than waiting.
