SurroundPower at the Business Angels Switzerland Dinner: An Evening of Opportunities and Inspiration

On September 11, 2024, we had the great honor of presenting SurroundPower to an exclusive circle of potential investors at the Business Angels Switzerland Dinner. The event was a unique opportunity to share our vision, build valuable connections, and gain fresh inspiration for our journey as a startup.

The Program

The event featured an inspiring program: a gourmet dinner, engaging talks by experienced network members, and exciting conversations with investors who were once startup founders themselves. These encounters provided firsthand insights and inspired us for future challenges.

Our Pitch: Inspiring Feedback and Initial Commitments

All three founders of SurroundPower were present to passionately present our idea. The response to our pitch was overwhelmingly positive. Investors praised the clarity of our concept and provided valuable feedback. From these insights, new approaches emerged, helping us refine our strategy to achieve our goals. We were thrilled to secure initial commitments from investors that evening—an encouraging sign of SurroundPower’s potential.

Challenges on the Path to Closing

Despite the positive feedback and an initial investor commitment, we returned home without a finalized deal. To reach our goal, we need additional investors and, most importantly, a lead investor. Securing this deal remains a critical step on our journey.

Gratitude and Outlook

Our special thanks go to Business Angels Switzerland for providing this valuable platform. The evening highlighted the importance of such networks for startups like ours. The enriching conversations and positive feedback gave us renewed courage and energy to drive our vision forward.
