Indosuez Wealth Management has expanded the StartUp Connections platform’s reach to clients in Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, and Switzerland following its popularity with French clients.
StartUp Connections is a digital portal that provides easy access to a global network of startups.
The Indosuez Innovation Lab established StartUp Connections, a list of over 100 international businesses in the fundraising phase or looking for commercial partners.
It is available online or on mobile and is aimed at Indosuez clients who are interested in the entrepreneurial environment and want to invest in initiatives alongside entrepreneurs.
After enrolling on the platform, clients can filter businesses based on criteria such as business sector, maturity, or environmental effect, and then request to be contacted by the startup.
More than 250 meetings have resulted in more than €11m ($11.9m) being invested in businesses that align with the goals of customers since the platform’s introduction in France six years ago.
