KnowS, Find Help and Share Skills in Switzerland
Over 120,000 people across Switzerland use KnowS to find help in everyday life or earn money with their skills.
In daily life, it often takes just a helping hand, whether for furniture assembly, childcare, gardening, or technical support.
At the same time, there are many people who can offer exactly these services and want to use their skills or generate additional income.

Instead of searching for a long time, the right people are found directly.

Our mission at KnowS
Empowering each other, growing together.
We bring people together across Switzerland, those who are looking for support and those who want to offer their skills. It is not just about getting things done, but about trust, closeness, and real community. This creates connections that go beyond individual jobs and enrich everyday life in a lasting way.
Our goal is clear. Everyone should be able to find help easily, locally, and securely, and present their skills in a way that they are truly seen. At the same time, we create opportunities for people to use their skills flexibly and turn them into new possibilities.
The KnowS Community is open and free for everyone who wants to share their talents or find support. Whether it is about learning something new or receiving help with a specific task, community is always at the heart of KnowS. Every contribution matters and strengthens the community.
With full transparency, the verification of all members, and insurance for every booking, we make sure that everyone feels safe. Clear processes and reliable structures build trust and make every collaboration predictable.
And because we care not only for one another, but also for our environment, we plant a tree for every successful job, our contribution to a greener and more connected future. In this way, we create a positive impact together that goes beyond the platform itself.
Together, we stand for trust, sustainability, and mutual support. This is how a community is created that not only works, but also grows and connects people in the long term.

Sustainability at heart
We connect people locally and plant a tree for every completed job, our contribution to a greener and stronger future.
The two founders of KnowS
After completing our studies at the University of Zurich and the University of St. Gallen, our paths led us to various international companies. There, we gained valuable experience, further developed our areas of expertise, and learned how cross-border collaboration works.
With KnowS, we have translated this experience into something of our own: a platform that brings people in Switzerland together in a simple and trustworthy way. A community where support is visible, skills are valued, and mutual assistance is a matter of course.
KnowS stands for a sense of togetherness that makes everyday life easier and brings society a little closer together.
We would be delighted if you would join our community and help KnowS grow with us.
Warm regards,
Ramin Schams & Philipp Liebherr
