How are Swiss growth-stage companies navigating the COVID-19 crisis? To find out, we conducted a series of interviews with (almost) identical questions throughout May and June 2020. As you would expect, setting up home-office structures, having regular company update calls, arranging structural and organizational changes, adapting cash management as well as managing customers and investors were among the top ranked measures taken by interviewees. The most interesting part of the interviews concerned the choices of managing long term growth versus short term profitability. Key learnings that were drawn from the COVID-19 pandemic include the importance of leadership, having agile business structures, strong communication skills, understanding the pitfalls and opportunities that markets offer while fine-tuning growth rates and keeping an eye on financial liquidity.
