A second Digital Pitch coming to Geneva

Two years after a successful first edition, Seedstars and ESH Médias are back with a new edition of the Digital Pitch on June 25th at the Carouge Seedspace. The competition encourages startups tackling the digitization of the local economy to pitch their projects in front of a jury to win a prize.

This event is open to any startups active in Switzerland (and/or startups who wish to start activities in the French part of the country) in the fields of ICT. Companies can submit their full application/deck (in French or English), be selected, and finally pitch their project in front of the jury. The winner will win up to CHF 100'000 of equity investment comprised of a mix of cash and media value.

To be eligible for the pitching competition, ventures must not be older than 3 years. Besides, investment to date in the company must not exceed CHF 500'000. It must also demonstrate traction on its market with an existing MVP. The deadline for application is June 9th.
