Swiss National Fintech Team 2020: 10 fintech startups get ready to accelerate their global growth with Venture Leaders

16.09.2020 07:30, Isabelle Mitchell

We proudly present the new team of ambitious Swiss fintech startups that are ready to advance their international presence and growth. Following in the footsteps of successful alumni, the 10 startups will kick off their Venture Leaders experience in November and participate in the virtual edition of the Hong Kong Fintech Week, the world’s first cross-border fintech conference. This is the fourth edition of the Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow.

Venturelab has been organizing international roadshows for the Swiss National Startup Team for 16 years. The ambitious entrepreneurs and their promising startups are introduced to leading investors and potential customers in technology hubs in Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, China, and Barcelona.

Swiss fintech startups raised more than CHF 133 million last year, and the sector’s leaders plan to keep growing and going global. The Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow 2020 is organized by Venturelab and swissnex China and supported by EPF Lausanne, ETH Zurich, IMMOMIG, PostFinance, TX Group, Walder Wyss, and the Canton of Zurich. Venture Leaders Fintech alumni comprise high-flying startups such as Qumram (acquired by Dynatrace), Knip (acquired by Digital Insurance Group), Carbon Delta (acquired by MSCI), Algotrader, CreditGate24, Crypto Finance, Lend, Sonect and Tradeplus24

The 10 Venture Leaders Fintech 2020 illustrate that Switzerland is a strong contender for transforming the banking and insurance industry. Four of last year’s participants each closed a substantial financing round after the roadshow, and I’m looking forward to laying the foundation for this year’s team by introducing them to international investors,” said Stefan Steiner, co-managing director of Venturelab. 

Jan Brzezek, Founder and CEO of Crypto Finance and Venture Leader Fintech 2019, explains: “If you think of expanding to Asia or just want to better understand the potential market there, this program is a must for you! It’s a one-week packed program with lots of pitches, meetings, and insights.” Crypto Finance was ranked 16th at the TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award 2020, and following the Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow, the Zug-based startup completed a financing round of more than CHF 14 million from investors in Europe and Asia, which will further intensify its international expansion.  



Follow the entrepreneurs and the Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow on social media using the hashtag #VLeadersFintech or on www.venture-leaders.ch/fintech. Meet the 10 founders on September 24th during their virtual introduction pitch session.


Congratulations to the 10 Venture Leaders Fintech winners 2020!
