KICKOFF FOR THE KAPITALBRÜCKE BEIDER BASEL

On 29 October 2026, we are launching the "Kapitalbrücke beider Basel" — a joint initiative by Startup Academy Basel and Startup Academy Baselland. We are building a regionally rooted financial ecosystem that systematically connects startups and young companies in the region with capital providers.

At the kickoff, we will explore the topic of financing for young companies together with founders who will share their funding journeys, and with investors who will openly discuss when they choose to invest and when they don't. Afterwards, we invite you to an exclusive networking apéro.

This event is aimed at founders, entrepreneurs, investors, representatives from banks, family offices, business angels, foundations, and anyone who wants to help shape the region.

Date: Thursday, 29 October 2026
Start: 6:00 PM
Location: FHNW Campus Dreispitz, Dornacherstrasse 394, 4053 Basel
