On the occasion of the Trust Valley Day 2022, the start-ups selected for the 4th season of the Tech4Trust acceleration program were announced.
An initiative of the Trust Valley, the Lemanic arc’ center of expertise on digital trust and cybersecurity, Tech4Trust is an intense 6-month support program designed to accelerate the activities of cybersecurity start-ups and to promote sustainable growth.
Tech4Trust helps the world’s most promising companies in the fields of cybersecurity and digital trust to get their business ready for market through top-notch mentoring, strategic support and training from leading industry partners. The 70 start-ups already boosted by the program have raised CHF 150 million to date, solidifying Tech4Trust’s position on the international stage.
“Six months ago, we had one idea and no fundraising, and almost no network. Six months later, we have raised 2.5 million, we have 7 clients in Switzerland and France, and 12 employees. Tech4Trust acts as a seal of confidence that propels us and encourages investors to talk to us. We remain humbled and delighted by this result and will get back to work,” said Olivier Eyries, one of the three co-founders of Saporo, the winning start-up of Tech4Trust in 2022.
