The story behind Shkudo

Shkudo was born out of a simple, urgent observation: Employees today face real challenges—burnout, discrimination, bullying, and mental health stress—but often don't know who to turn to or are unsure whether to voice their concerns. At the same time, HR departments are overburdened and often involve themselves too late.

To change that, we founded Shkudo.


Shkudo is a proactive, people-centric platform that supports both employees and companies – before small problems become serious.

Our goal is to make early intervention simple, confidential, and effective. We believe that a healthy workplace culture begins with trust, and trust begins with being heard.

Our team includes psychologists, legal advisors, technologists, and workplace experts. We developed Shkudo based on real research and real conversations with people on both sides of the table: HR leaders and employees alike.

This is more than a product. It's a tool for change.

At Shkudo, we combine technology and empathy to create workplaces where people feel safe, supported, and can thrive.

Shkudo was founded in Zurich by Vasco Furrer and a small team of experts in law, psychology and digital design.
Together, they were convinced that early support could transform how companies handle conflict and support their teams. From that conversation, a focused, goal-oriented company developed, committed to long-term change in the workplace.
