TOP 100 Lighthouse Event Zurich: 6 TOP 100 Swiss Startups pitch to Credit Suisse investors

Six TOP 100 Startups had the opportunity to persuade high-profile investors: Venturelab and TOP 100 presenting partner Credit Suisse hosted an exclusive startup pitch event in Zurich that brought together TOP 100 Startups and investors from the Credit Suisse Private Investor’s Club.

The second TOP 100 Lighthouse Event 2021 featured six TOP 100 Startups from the German-speaking part of Switzerland: GreenTEG, hemotune, matriq, SONECT, Recommerce, and Versantis. At Metropol’s event zone in the heart of Zurich, the six companies pitched to the Credit Suisse Private Investors Club members, showcased their innovative potential, strengthened networks, and explored business opportunities. 



The hosts, Aaron Keller and Andreas Roth of Credit Suisse and Venturelab’s Stefan Steiner, welcomed the investors and entrepreneurs. “The TOP 100 partnership with Credit Suisse gives the best startups access to selected potential investors. These pitch events also connect the entrepreneurs with experts of Credit Suisse who can help them with a broad array of challenges and introduce them to new networks. Providing the TOP 100 Startups with such an exclusive environment is one of the crucial benefits we offer,” explained Stefan Steiner, the co-managing director at Venturelab. Aaron Keller, Head of Entrepreneurs & Executives, Lake Zurich Region, Credit Suisse, added: “The very positive feedback from investors and startup entrepreneurs makes us very happy and encourages us to continue to specifically promote the startup ecosystem that is crucial for the Swiss economy.”



“Switzerland is still far behind Silicon Valley when it comes to venture investment at the scale-up stage. However, it was extremely pleasing to present our Series B investment opportunity in front of so many potential investors, as we aim to fill up the remainder of the round during the coming months. Special thanks to Credit Suisse for giving us this great platform and Venturelab for supporting Swiss entrepreneurs at every stage! SONECT wouldn’t be able to dream big and revolutionize the global ATM industry without such amazing support,” said Sandipan Chakraborty, the founder and CEO of SONECT.


Credit Suisse and TOP 100 regularly organize invitation-only pitch events across Switzerland. If you are an active startup investor and would like to participate in future events, please contact Stefan Steiner.
