A panel of investors and industry specialists has selected ten Swiss fintech startups to join the Swiss National Startup Team.
These companies will take part in the Venture Leaders Fintech programme, which includes a roadshow in London this November aimed at expanding their professional networks and industry knowledge.
The initiative is organised by Venturelab and Swissnex, with support from EPFL, ETH Zürich, PostFinance, and Walder Wyss.
Since 2006, Venturelab has been selecting the Swiss National Startup Team.
Its Venture Leaders roadshows have taken entrepreneurs to leading global technology hubs, including Silicon Valley, Boston, Asia, Barcelona, Munich, and London, where they meet experts, investors, and potential customers.
This year, a jury of investors and fintech experts has chosen ten startups to participate in the 2025 Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow in London.
The programme offers opportunities to engage with investors through pitch sessions, attend workshops with industry leaders, and strengthen business development efforts.
The selected companies operate across a range of sectors, including options trading, wealth management, AI risk governance, insurance (pet, weather, and claims), blockchain investigations, regulatory compliance, and secure data management.
“The startups in the Venture Leaders Fintech programme are doing impressive work, and the London roadshow is a key step forward to showcase Swiss innovation globally,”
said Stefan Steiner, Co-Managing Director at Venturelab.
Previous Venture Leaders Fintech alumni include companies such as Crypto Finance (acquired by Deutsche Börse), eCollect (acquired by Intrum), Imburse (acquired by Duck Creek Technologies), Qumram (acquired by Dynatrace), as well as Lend, Sonect, TP24, and Wyden.
The public can meet this year’s participants during the webinar State of Fintech in Switzerland 2025 on 17 September 2025.
The London roadshow will run from 10 to 14 November 2025, with updates available via the hashtag #VLeadersFintech.
