Introduction
CTI Invest – what to expect
in 2015 and beyond
After more than a decade the board and the
management team felt, that it was about time
to rethink CTI Invest and all of its offerings
and services. The three pillars of CTI Invest‘s
future will be: Deal Flow management, organizing match-making and networking events
and sharing knowhow with investors and innovative start-ups.
In our latest study, conducted in 2013 for the
time period 2003 – 2013, we found clear statistical evidence that CTI Invest
We offer
is critical to help innovative
start-ups finding investors in
deals,
Switzerland. More than half of
events and
all the start-ups that presenttrainings
ed at one of our events thereafter closed a financing round.
Thus our Swiss Venture Days have become the
leading match making events in Switzerland,
in Zurich, Romandie and this year also in Ticino. The mandatory pitch training and the
podcasts are very

valuable for the start-ups
financing round but also for our investor
members. Furthermore the dramatic reduction
of the pitching time and hence presenting
more start-ups at each event is reflecting best
practices.
In the meantime we have been asked to
support other organizations, e.g. STARTFELD,
3
CP Startup Lugano and for several years also
­venture.ch to implement our pitching format
for their start-up events.
Despite the success of our Swiss Venture Days
we will introduce a new Match Making Tool
this late summer, making it possible for investors and start-ups to benefit from a permanent deal flow. The new platform, developed
by Deal Market, will also allow to have a Data
Room, conduct Due Diligence and to exchange
messages between investors and start-ups.
Later in 2015 the concept of Lean Canvas will
be reflected in our factsheet, in close collaboration with the Lean Innovation Alliance
Switzerland. All our

summer
Furthermore we announced a Lean Day with
Ash Maurya, the author of Running Lean, on
20th October 2015 (www.leanday.ch).
However, the CEO Day, renamed to Swiss
Startup Day, will remain one of the highlights
in 2015. The enhanced event App, generously supported by Zühlke, will be in action and
some new ideas will be introduced to make
this day the most important event for every
innovative start-up in Switzerland and abroad.
Introduction
Despite having to pay for the first time in 2014,
a new record of more than 600 participants
attended last year (www.ceoday.ch).
The Elevator Pitch Event at the Restaurant
Clouds (Prime Tower) in Zurich, beginning of
October 2015, will be the qualification round
for a slot at the Pitching Battle of the CEO Day.
CEO Day, renamed to
Swiss Startup Day, and the
Elevator Pitch, the two
highlights in 2015
The Swiss Television SRF will be in the elevator
with investor representatives.
In autoumn 2015 CTI Invest will start to enhance its Service offering for start-ups. Besides already offering eductional days for
investors (www.angelday.ch) also start-ups
will be able to benefit from our best practice
knowhow and speakers in the future (www.
bestpractices.ch).
In 2015 we will continue our collaboration
with the Commission for Technology and Innovation CTI in order to
Best practices
make sure that innovative start-ups in Swit- offering also
zerland will be success- for start-ups
ful in the future.
this year
The board as well as the management team
are ready and motivated to implement all
these changes, as we all strongly believe that
start-ups play a very important role for the
Swiss economical well being.
To close we would like to thank all our members, partners and sponsors for supporting us.
