Assessment and platform access
Companies begin by completing a comprehensive set of 15-self assessment questions that evaluates their Entrepreneurial and Technology Level. This self-assessment categorizes businesses into four groups based on TRL levels, with an additional “excellence” tier for the most advanced companies. Only companies achieving TRL 5-8 or excellence status gain admission to the platform, ensuring investors connect with mature, investment-ready businesses.
Building your business showcase
Once admitted, companies create and continuously update their project showcase within the platform. This comprehensive profile includes business model data and all relevant startup information, presenting companies in the most compelling way possible for potential investors.
International investor discovery
The platform provides unprecedented visibility to business angels, corporate ventures, and investment funds from Alpine countries and internationally, significantly expanding their funding opportunities beyond traditional national boundaries.
Direct investor engagement
Qualified investors can directly contact companies through the platform to request interviews and explore potential funding partnerships. This streamlined approach eliminates traditional barriers between startups and investors, accelerating the funding process.
Confidential information exchange
The platform ensures secure collaboration through robust confidentiality measures. Any sensitive information exchange with investors requires properly executed non-disclosure agreements.
The platform operates as a user-friendly web application accessible from both computers and mobile devices.
