Already active in France, the “Startup connections” platform by Indosuez Wealth Management has now been expanded to include Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco and Switzerland, according to a press release from 9 July 2024.
The platform is a list of some 100 startups that are in need of funding and/or business relationships, and has been built with Indosuez clients in mind--namely, to offer them suggestions for investing their money.
Startup connections launched in France six years ago and, says the press release, has generated some €11m in investments since then.
“Startup Connections is all about making connections,” comments Benoît Bourdin, head of innovation markets at Indosuez Wealth Management, in the press release, “the aim being to create a virtuous circle, both personally and professionally--between our investor clients and the founders of the startups in our ecosystem.”
The Indosuez Group has about €200bn in client assets and operates in 16 locations.
