Fintech Fusion is a 12-months acceleration program offered to about 10 FinTech startups per year that enables them to move from a beta product to revenues. The program includes workshop and trainings, supported by a network of mentors, experts and partner companies that provide startups with the resources they need to accelerate their development.

Matthias Vanoni, CEO of Biowatch, who is taking part in the first class, said: “Fusion is a decisive turning point in the development and growth of our company!”.

Unlike most accelerators, Fusion takes no upfront equity stake in startups it accelerates.

Guillaume Dubray, founder of Fusion and Managing Partner at PolytechEcosystem Ventures, commented: “We are pleased to see the positive results Fusion is generating. And we are very keen to discover and interview the future startups of our second batch.”

Forbes’ eighth annual Fintech 50 list includes only half of the companies that were deserving of a spot despite the crowded field. The vision behind Fusion is to foster a dynamic community of FinTech entrepreneurs that will elevate and solidify Switzerland’s standing as a global leader in the financial sector. Fusion does not require a prior equity investment from its entrepreneurs before accelerating them. I’m using o for the first time.

Superb article. This blog has impressed me since I frequently check it. Information was very helpful, especially the end section when the “wheel spinner” forced me to assimilate a lot of information.
