What Happens on Stage?
Seven selected startups with at least one female co-founder present their investment case.
Each startup receives:
5 minutes to pitch
2 minutes for investor questions
Before the event, every selected startup joins a pitch-preparation meeting with a member of the SwissFinTechLadies Advisory Committee.
The audience and investors then vote.
The three highest-ranked startups will be invited to enter the eligibility, due-diligence and onboarding process for the SwissFinTechLadies syndication platform.
Voting is not investment advice, an investment recommendation or a commitment to invest.
Platform admission and any subsequent investment remain subject to eligibility assessment, due diligence, documentation, regulatory requirements and the independent decision of each investor.
