The nominees are :
EARLY STAGE
For fintech startups with a Swiss connection which don’t have a product-market-fit yet. We recommend this category for start-ups which are currently working on a first demo, prototype or which are about to go-to-market with the first product or service.
AIDONIC
AIDONIC is a new innovative tool for any NGO, foundation, international organization and institution in the field of charitable giving, social impact and sustainable development. Our technology helps to manage funds and data safely, ensures reliable aid allocation and last mile tracking. The Platform connects donors to end beneficiaries and service providers through our mobile app and last mile mechanism, to ensure that almost 100% of all donations reach the intended people in need. Lack of transparency have become the biggest issue in today’s nonprofit sector. It discourages institutional donors and individuals from committing funds to charitable causes. People want to know where their donations are going to. They want to see the positive impact in people’s life they intend to help. AIDONIC provides 100% transparency and secure funds allocation to those in need, this will regain public trust in NGOs and attract donors to spend more for good causes.
