EPFL spinoff SpotMe has closed a new financing round, with the Swiss Post as a majority stakeholder. The strategic partnership will provide SpotMe access to Swiss Post’s technology portfolio and network to enable further growth and expansion. The company will continue to operate globally and as a standalone company.

Based in Lausanne with offices in the United States, Singapore and Bulgaria, SpotMe is a market-leading end-to-end event technology solution. The company offers a comprehensive suite of software solutions designed to create engaging and personalized event experiences. The SpotMe platform enables businesses to plan, execute, and analyze virtual, hybrid, and in-person events, driving audience engagement and delivering measurable results.

Following its majority investment in SpotMe, the Swiss Post has acquired the startup’s international team, a market-leading end-to-end event technology solution, and the startup’s domain expertise in key industries. Swiss Post is thus strengthening its role as a trustworthy carrier of sensitive customer and business information, supporting companies in their digital transformation. The SpotMe management team is co-investing in the company alongside Swiss Post.

“This strategic partnership is expected to provide us with significant momentum for growth, and will benefit not only our company but also our customers on both sides,” says Pierre Metrailler, CEO of SpotMe.

“The confidential transfer of data from A to B has always been part of Swiss Post’s self-perception and core mandate. The need for mail secrecy also exists in the digital world. All kinds of events play an important role in customer communication. The services provided by SpotMe will in future allow us to offer our business customers security and simplicity in this area,” says Nicole Burth, Member of Executive Management at Swiss Post and Head of the Communication Services unit.

SpotMe maintains its brand
With the acquisition, SpotMe will continue to operate worldwide under its own brand, while benefiting from Swiss Post’s resources and global reach. SpotMe will tap into Swiss Post’s technology portfolio and network and will continue to expand in its key markets. The management team, the product and services lineup, and all existing contracts remain unchanged.

Swiss Post and SpotMe’s partnership will focus on enhancing an event technology offering for the long term, providing businesses with seamlessly crafted end-to-end solutions for managing and executing virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. As part of the joint vision, the product roadmap for SpotMe will continue to prioritize engagement, deep CRM integrations, and enterprise-grade security and privacy. The partnership will drive innovation in audience interaction, personalization, and data-driven insights, while also ensuring seamless integrations with major CRM and marketing automation platforms with a strong focus on high-touch industries such as life sciences, professional services, financial services, and technology.
