StartupSpider and daura co-operating by putting together their individual strength for further advance of the digitalisation of the Startup and SME Ecosystem

StartupSpider - the digital Marketplace for Startups - and daura - the digital equity platform for Switzerland – announcing their firm co-operation in the future. 

StartupSpider AG networks the fragmented and partly still analog Startup Ecosystem and continuously integrates important partners and platforms from all over Europe. The digital equity platform daura, focused on Swiss SMEs and start-ups, signed the StartupSpider participation agreement in May. StartupSpider and daura are thus joining forces and further advancing the digitalisation of the Ecosystem. Through the cooperation, investors benefit from the central overview and information about the companies on StartupSpider and can invest digitally via daura. The digital shares on daura offer investors completely new possibilities, for example, the simplified sale of shares before an actual exit, which leads to substantial higher liquidity of the investments.


Claudio Tognella, Partner and Key Account Manager of daura on the future partnership: "In this partnership, daura and StartupSpider combine their two networks and skills for an even bigger and more exciting Swiss Startup ecosystem".
 
Beatrice Kessler, CEO and founder of StartupSpider: "By networking with daura we achieve two strategic goals: our users gain access to a platform that enables completely new possibilities in the field of digitalized investments; and based on our international business we gain access to Switzerland".
