Zurich Growth Club
Where growth gets personal
Growth Club is more than an event. It’s where conversations turn into collaborations, ideas into strategies, and strangers into long-term partners.
It’s for people who believe that real growth doesn’t come from playbooks alone. It comes from learning from one another; from asking better questions and from sharing mistakes as openly as successes.
Based in Zurich but bridging industries and company sizes, Growth Club brings together founders, marketers, product leaders, developers, and creatives to unpack what growth really means today—and how we can shape it together.
It’s shaped by you. Our themes and formats evolve with each edition and reflect what the community wants to explore, challenge, and build next.

How we come together
Formats designed to fit the way leaders learn and grow.
General events
This is where the conversation continues—after the lights go down.
The WhatsApp group is a space to follow up, exchange ideas, share resources, and build real momentum between events. It’s where informal chats turn into real collaborations—and where the heart of the community lives.
History
Our Track Record
Growth Club started in 2016 as the Growth Hacking Meetup—a small, grassroots gathering for digital minds in Zurich.
Since then, the community has grown to over 1’500 members and evolved into Growth Club Zurich: a platform for curated, content-rich, community-first gatherings.
Now, approaching our 10-year mark, we’ve rebranded and expanded the format—introducing private sessions, launching a WhatsApp community, and continuing to create spaces where the right conversations lead to real growth.
Featured founders from the Top 100 Swiss Startups
Hosted leaders from Switzerland’s most respected brands
