Founders Breakfast: Zurich

Join us for the next Founders Breakfast in Zurich, where we’ll discuss “How Your Board Makes You Investable – Even Before the Pitch.”

Over coffee and croissants, we’ll dive into how strong governance and a credible board can unlock funding opportunities long before you even share your deck. This interactive breakfast session brings together founders of start-ups and scale-ups to explore why investors care about board setup, what inspires confidence, and how you can build a governance structure that sets you apart.

The morning will feature expert insights, practical guidance, and open conversations with peers, giving you the chance to exchange experiences while gaining actionable takeaways for your own company. Whether you’re raising your first round or preparing to scale, this is your opportunity to discover how a balanced, well-functioning board can make you truly investable.
