The Swiss Fintech will connect entrepreneurs with investors, corporates, and media. 5 start-ups and four investors have now been select for the even taking place on 11 October at Landesmuseum Zurich. 

The standard pitch format is ignored for the event. Instead, the day starts with 1on1 matching to get past first impressions, after lunch, investors and companies present how they add value for entrepreneurs, and only once this is done, entrepreneurs present their cases in board room style dialogue about fundraising goals and the company's performance, opportunities, challenges, and so on. The final touch is that investors judge startups and vice versa, but the audience also has a vote.

The selected companies include:

BeeSolar
BeeSolar offers a new type of impact investment by installing solar panels on residential buildings in Switzerland. The electricity is directly sold to the tenants and BeeSolar clients receive a return on investment. Currently, BeeSolar develops a pilot project.
