Venture Leaders Technology 2023

The Venture Leaders Technology 2023 were on a business development and investor roadshow in Silicon Valley: pitching to industry experts, VCs, and investors, the innovators took a decisive step in their venture's growth and connected to the startup ecosystem of one of the world's central tech hubs.

In recent months, various crises have affected investment activity globally and in the US, including the circumstances surrounding FTX and Silicon Valley Bank, rising interest rates, and high inflation, behooving investors to focus on their existing portfolio companies. This creates a particularly challenging environment for growth companies looking to raise new capital.

Yet, San Francisco Bay still represents around 20% of U.S. venture capital deal counts and more than 30% of total deal value. Dry powder held by venture capital funds is at an all-time high. For the Venture Leaders Technology 2023, who were chosen from over 150 applications by a jury of investors and technology experts, access to the startup ecosystem in Silicon Valley remains vital.

Success stories of some of last year's Venture Leaders underline the momentum that can be built on by expanding their network and insight: the agritech startup xFarm celebrated a capital injection of EUR 17 million and the ETH spin-off LatticeFlow secured USD 12 million, reaching significant milestones in their growth.

This year's Venture Leaders Technology program is co-organized by Venturelab and supported by Canton of Vaud, Canton of Zürich, EPFL, ETH Zürich, Kellerhals Carrard, and Rothschild & Co.
