Venturelab is proud to introduce ten ambitious Swiss fintech startups ready to accelerate their growth on the international stage. The ten members of the Swiss National Fintech Team will kick off their Venture Leaders experience in December with an investor and business development roadshow to London. They will also represent Swiss innovation at the Fintech Connect in London, the premier conference at the heart of one of the most dynamic entrepreneurship ecosystems in Europe. This marks the sixth edition of the Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow.

Venturelab has been organizing international roadshows for the Swiss National Startup Team for 18 years. These roadshows provide a platform for determined entrepreneurs and their promising startups, offering them the opportunity to connect with top experts, investors, and potential customers in key technology hubs across the globe, such as Silicon Valley, Boston, China, Barcelona, Munich, and London.

After reviewing over 60 applications, a jury of investors and technology experts selected ten fintech startups to join the Venture Leaders Fintech 2023 roadshow in London. The roadshow will take the Swiss National Fintech Team to London for investor pitch sessions, and customer meetings and the entrepreneurs will also participate at the Fintech Connect conference to meet banking leaders and expand their network. The roadshow is organized in partnership with Swissnex, and supported by EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), ETH Zürich, Postfinance, and Walder Wyss.

This year's Venture Leaders Fintech entrepreneurs join an impressive group of Fintech alumni including high-flying startups such as Crypto Finance (acquired by Deutsche Börse), eCollect (acquired by Intrum), Imburse (acquired by Duck Creek Technologies), Qumram (acquired by Dynatrace), Lend, Sonect, TP24, Wyden, and many more.

"Venture Leaders Fintech team 2023 reflects Switzerland's boundless innovation. Its solid commitment to disrupting the financial sector is establishing a path towards a fresh financial era," says Stefan Steiner, co-managing director at Venturelab. “I am thrilled to witness their inspiring journey in reshaping the financial industry. As they set off on their roadshow to London, connecting with investors and new clients, it is clear that their influence on the future of finance will reach even greater heights, and I am looking forward to seeing where they will take it."

“From the Venture Leaders program, I took away a lot of inspiration, interesting conversations and, above all, great contacts. Be prepared for an intense week – but it will be well worth it!” said Kristina Morf, Head of CX at nobank and part of the Swiss National Fintech Team 2022.

This year’s Venture Leaders Fintech will introduce themselves and their startups at a virtual kickoff session on November 2, 2023. This event will be open to the public and will provide a showcase for the ten game-changing innovations that the 2023 Swiss National Startup Team will be presenting in London. Register here.
