Launch Live Züri - Fast Start 2026

​Silicon Valley speed. Built for Europe.

​Come see 10 YC-backed startups launch their products live - 3 minutes each, no slides, just what they built.

​Our mission: Make cutting-edge startup technology accessible and practical for companies of all sizes. We're building the culture where testing new tools is normal, fast, and beneficial for everyone - startups get real customers, companies get real solutions.

​The format: No keynote. No sponsor talks. No fluff. Just 10 rapid-fire demos followed by open networking with food and drinks. Ask founders directly, see the products live, find what solves your problems.

​Why Y Combinator matters: Y Combinator is the world's top startup accelerator, founded in 2005 in Silicon Valley. With a 0.5% acceptance rate (more selective than Harvard), YC has backed Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit, Coinbase, and Dropbox. YC tops global venture capital performance, with an incredible 176% annual historical return.

​Why these founders are different: Every startup presenting went to San Francisco, learned to ship at Silicon Valley speed, and chose to come back to build for European customers. They combine YC's rapid iteration methods with deep technical execution. You're seeing founders who know how to launch fast and build right.
