The Student Business Club association, with the support of USI Startup Centre and Privilège Student Ventures, presents the first edition Startup Funding Competition. In this competition, selected startups will take the stage to pitch their innovative ideas and answer questions from the jury members. 

The peculiarity of this event is the interactive nature of the competition and the proactive role played by the audience. The public will have the opportunity to allocate virtual capital to the startups they prefer; the cumulative investments made by the audience will determine the winner. The second place will be decided by summing up the investments allocated by the jury.

  • Public Award: 1 annual membership worth CHF 150 for the Business Community of coworkingbar
  • Jury Award: Coaching sessions with some jury members
