Seed Funding in Switzerland: A Structured Guide to the Financing Round Process
Are you planning a seed or pre-seed funding round for your startup in Switzerland? This introductory video from the SeedFast webinar series provides a clear and concise overview of how a typical financing round unfolds – from initial investor contact to capital increase and registration in the Swiss Commercial Register.
What you can expect in this webinar:
- A step-by-step overview of the key milestones in a financing round
- An introduction to essential documents: Term Sheet, Investment Agreement, Shareholders’ Agreement
- The legal and procedural flow of a capital increase in a Swiss stock corporation (AG)
- Practical insights into legal and administrative requirements
- Common pitfalls during preparation and execution
This webinar is designed for founders, CFOs, and startup advisors who want to better understand the end-to-end process of seed funding in Switzerland – especially when it comes to working with investors and ensuring legal compliance under Swiss corporate law.
Why this video matters:
Many startups underestimate the complexity of a professionally managed funding round. Those who understand the key steps early and prepare thoroughly can save time, reduce legal costs – and minimize the risk of costly mistakes. This is especially true when working with a startup lawyer or using digital tools to manage the capital increase.
