ServiceHunter AG, an ETH spin-off,[1] is the Swiss company behind «quitt», a platform specializing in automated services for the registration, insurance, and payroll accounting of private employees.[2][3]

As of 2024, almost 30,000 private households with a total payroll of over CHF 400 million have handed over the administration of their employment relationships to quitt.

History[edit]

ServiceHunter AG was founded in Zurich on July 27, 2010,[4] by David Christen and Daniel Moser, focusing on the development of a platform for the posting and fulfillment of job requests with automated legalization of these employment relationships.[5] In 2011, ServiceHunter AG launched «quitt», pivoting away from the platform to focus on automating the registration and accounting of social security contributions for private individuals.[6][7][8]

In 2012 Luzius Meisser, Thomas Dübendorfer, Myke Näf, and Paul Sevinç, along with private investors, contributed to a financing round of 600,000 Swiss francs, and quitt was recognized among the «Top 100 Startups" in Switzerland.[9][10]

In 2015, the company received the «SEF.High-Potential KMU» award.[3] In 2016, the company achieved second place in the «Swiss Economic Award» on the Swiss Economic Forum [de].[11]

In 2020, quitt expanded its coverage to all 26 cantons of Switzerland.[12] In 2023, ServiceHunter AG received three «Best of Swiss Apps» awards for their newly launched product «quitt Business» for startups.[13]
