Swissnex outposts in San Francisco and Boston are planning a roadshow to five Swiss cities in September. They will talk about opportunities in US markets for Swiss start-ups and about the CTI Market Entry Camp USA. You can now vote for the cities the swissnex team will visit.
The US can be one of the most inspiring places for entrepreneurs. Through the CTI Market Entry Camp USA, the swissnex outposts in San Francisco and Boston offer Swiss tech entrepreneurs the opportunity to leverage this dynamic ecosystem to accelerate their startup’s growth.
In September, swissnex’s Cyril Dorsaz and Niccolò Iorno stop by five Swiss cities to talk about your startup’s opportunities in the US market. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of the most vibrant startup ecosystems in the US (Boston, New York and San Francisco) and learn how to best leverage these markets to accelerate their company’s growth and gain a competitive advantage.
Cyril and Niccolò will explore the characteristics of the US startup ecosystem. Swiss entrepreneurs will learn how their startup can benefit from US exposure, which city is the best fit for their company, and how to get relevant market feedback quickly. The can find out what they can realistically expect if they enter the US market, how to leverage US-based talent and expertise, and what they need to know to successfully raise money in the US.
Swissnex wants to help select which cities to stop in during the roadshow: vote for your city now by registering on the registration page. The most requested cities by the end of August will be selected!
