Our story
How we got started
Here’s a quick version of our journey and how we got started, what keeps us moving forward and the people driving Resilient team
Getting started
Resilient (formerly Chainwork) is led by a group of entrepreneurs whose mission is to build new businesses. In 2019 we first opened Resilient as a Community Hub for the Swiss startup community
Our first year
Within its first year of operation, Resilient onboarded over a dozen ventures as part of its coworking operations, and added over 1,800 sqm of space to its growing operations
Becoming builders
Having created a strong connection to swiss innovation ecosystem, our management team decided to become more actively involved with the development of new concepts, and launched Resilient with a new mission of building our own businesses
