Scaleup Slopes 2026
Scaleup Slopes is Swisspreneur's annual high-altitude knowledge exchange designed for founders, professional VCs and selected ecosystem supporters. Past participants have said, it's the day at work you forget is work.
What's the hype about? As a participant at our fifth edition of Scaleup Slopes in Laax, you'll choose between powder turns and gondola ride networking OR co-working in The Bridge with a view.
After some fun in the snow you'll have the opportunity to join a workshop before diving into dialogue during the apéro and flying dinner. Finally, to top it all off, you'll enjoy dessert and a panel discussion around the cozy fire at The Bridge.
Want to join? This event is for founders who are at least at seed stage, professional VCs and selected ecosystem supporters. We know how important participant fit is to these kind of events, that's why we review all applications before the event.
Still not sure? Have a peek at last year's edition with perfect powder and sunshine.
