WE CHANGE HOW THE WORLD THINKS OF HIGH HEELS.

Info

We design vegan high heels with unprecedented comfort for high heel lovers who want to wear them every day. DESIGNED IN SWITZERLAND. HANDMADE IN ITALY. Inspired by the soft cushions of a cheetah paw, our high heels combine comfort with beauty and elegance. This is why we call them Cheeletos. Our first collection is available in a limited pre-sale of 123 pairs from 18 July - 31 August. It features timeless designs in a classy retro vibe that are available in 9 colours - classic and audacious – and are suitable for any occasion, mood and outfit, without ever going out of style. Our Cheetahs are beautiful, elegant, and slightly dangerous – just like those who dare to wear them. We love them. I hope you will too.

    This is your opportunity to co-found a footwear company that not only makes beautiful high heels 👠 but also deeply cares about making a positive impact. Are you wondering if founder life is for you? Let's see: 💥 Do you thrive in a small team where you get to call the shots and actually do the work, not just manage it? 🔥 Are you cool with getting your hands dirty and turning your strategies into action, even when you’re juggling a hundred other things? 💡 Can you be scrappy and make magic happen with limited resources, no massive budget, and sometimes, just pure grit? 💪 Are you willing to hustle hard — even if that means pulling an all-nighter (on rare occasions) or doing whatever it takes to keep things moving? 💰 Do you have enough of a financial cushion to survive for a while without a paycheck — because this is a long game, not a quick win? 🚀 How do you feel about taking risks and diving head-first into the unknown, even if the safety net isn't there? 🎩 Are you down to wear a million hats and still make it look effortless? 💥 Can you handle failure and bounce back faster than you can say “pivot”? 🔨 Do you love the thrill of building something from scratch — even when it feels like you’re starting with just a dream and a laptop? 🤝 Are you ready to put the team’s needs before your own — even if it means a little personal sacrifice (like sleep or social life)? If your answer is mostly yes, you are gonna love working with us, and we look forward to hearing from you. 🤓 Stand tall. Always.

    As another remarkable year of Innosuisse startup coaching draws to a close, I'm excited to share a curated selection of success stories from the innovative founders I've had the privilege to work with - starting with 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 👠 When Fiorella Larissa Erni and Martin Markovic first appeared in our startup coaching session in March 2024, they brought more than just a business plan – they brought a vision to transform the luxury footwear industry. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 💪 Their startup, Cheetah Stories SA, wasn't just about creating another shoe brand; it was about 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘶𝘹𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦.   Could a startup create high heels that were simultaneously vegan, luxurious, and genuinely comfortable?   𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 🛣️ In our coaching, we first focused on identifying key challenges and strengths to create a clear roadmap. They did not come unprepared. When we started working together, they had already: *Built a traceable supply chain with carefully selected suppliers *Established manufacturing partnerships near Milan *Developed three prototype iterations *Created a clear understanding of their ideal customer through surveys and interviews Rather than rushing to market, they invested time in perfecting their product.   𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 ⭐ In July 2024 they launched their pre-sales. Following this milestone, they embarked on a multi-city product roadshow, presenting their shoes in Lugano, London, Milan, Lucerne, Zurich, and Geneva. Over 60 women had the opportunity to try their shoes, providing valuable feedback and validation of their concept.   𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 📈 In just 8 months since our first session in March 2024, Cheetah Stories has achieved remarkable milestones: *Successfully launched pre-sales in July 2024 *Conducted successful product demonstrations across six European cities *𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘱-𝘶𝘱 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 Jelmoli, 𝘚𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥'𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦 (𝘕𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 2024) *Established a made-to-order production model *Built a traceable supply chain *Created a clear path for expansion into further markets   Their journey from incorporation in February 2023 to launching in one of Switzerland's most prestigious retail locations shows that it's possible to build a luxury brand that stays true to its values while creating a viable business model.   𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 🔮 With their solid foundation and clear vision for expansion into further markets, they're well-positioned to grow their impact beyond Switzerland and potentially reshape the future of luxury footwear.

    We made it to the highlights of Startup Nights! 🌟 Cheelettos Jungle Zest 👠 , proudly presented by our Chief Happiness Officer, Othello 🐾 (official participant in the event), were featured in the highlights of this year’s Startup Nights in Winterthur. It was an inspiring two days filled with growth 📈 and connection 🤝. We had the chance to share our vision of creating comfortable vegan high heels 👠 that allow women to truly stand tall 🌍 in different bilateral meetings while also connecting with other ventures focused on sustainability 🌱 and social impact 💡—a powerful reminder of how innovation can drive positive change. The growing presence of women-founded startups 👩💻 and female investors 👩💼 was equally inspiring, fueling diversity and innovation within the entrepreneurial ecosystem 🚀. A big thank you to the organising committee 👏 for creating such a dynamic space for learning, networking, and exchanging experiences. We’re already looking forward to next year, with more ideas to share and more opportunities to grow 🌱. Until then, let’s stand tall together and continue pushing the boundaries of innovation 💪. With love, The Cheetah Stories Team Disclaimer: Othello joined the event for only a few hours, and the fabulous volunteers kindly offered to keep him in the calm admission area in case he got tired of mingling.

    Negotiation Essentials: A pair of statement heels 👠, the great books on negotiation 📚, and a great deal of empathy 🤝. This Saturday, I had the privilege of leading a negotiation training session on the final day of the AIJA - International Association of Young Lawyers Conference, which focused on new technologies, IP/TMT, and antitrust law in Málaga 🌍. It was fantastic to connect with over 130 lawyers from across Europe, providing them with innovative tools that extend beyond their usual fields of expertise. I particularly enjoyed engaging them with simulation exercises, where my colleague Stephen Kilpatrick challenged their skills as humanitarian negotiators 🤝. As for key learnings? I’ll leave that to the participants to reflect on, but I hope you carry forward some insights from our discussions into your next negotiation💡. A heartfelt thank you to Marco S. Meier and Dr. Lorenz Jarass for inviting me to be part of this remarkable event 🙏, and to all the participants for your active involvement, which made facilitating the workshop a true joy! 🎉 Here is to successful negotiations. Stand tall. With love, Fiorella PS: Book tip for all who want to learn more about negotiation: the Work Smarter Guide to Negotiation by my brilliant colleague Kirk Kinnell.

    🌿What do we really know about the history of our clothes?

Each episode features inspiring women from business, science, and culture who are making a difference. And, of course, you'll discover fascinating *forgotten stories* from fashion history along the way!
