Founded in 2016, Unicorn Labs began as a non-profit initiative by a team of ETH Zurich students. The initial insight centered on providing structured support for validating and developing nascent entrepreneurial concepts. Igor Susmelj, a co-founder and president, significantly contributed to establishing this vision, channeling the university's academic strengths into a practical innovation platform.

Unicorn Labs engages early-stage startups, established companies exploring new features, universities, and individual innovators. It also supports emerging talent via its Makers' Club. The company's vision is to cultivate a dynamic ecosystem that promotes creativity, nurtures promising ideas, and propels impactful solutions to market, fostering the success of future entrepreneurial endeavors.
