The ninth edition of the Startup Champions Seed Night took place at the Rolex Learning Centre at EPFL in front of a virtual audience of more than 500 guests. Loulia Kassem, co-founder of REA, won the jury vote for the best pitch of the evening.
On September 28, 18 startups met at EPF Lausanne to present to their solutions for a safer, healthier, and cleaner future. The future of Swiss entrepreneurship was gathered under the same roof for the yearly 90-minute pitch competition and, as per usual, they did not disappoint the (virtual) audience.Eddie Roschi, co-founder of Le Labo Fragrances, is our keynote speaker tonight. He has great tips for our young entrepreneurs. For him understanding who you are as a person is key to starting a successful company! #SUchamps pic.twitter.com/hVm8CWbkTm
