Hi there!
ICYMI: the Pitching Battle at Startup Days in Bern last week witnessed the victory of four startups: Hydromea, Apheros, Viatu, and Adiposs. The event drew around 1500 guests, providing an excellent opportunity to connect with key players in the startup ecosystem.
Amidst the challenges faced by numerous startups in securing funding, CARE, a Swiss Healthtech company, successfully raised a CHF 6 million Seed round to facilitate its expansion into the US.
Stay updated on all financing rounds and follow me on LinkedIn as well!
