INSPIRED
Seestrasse 77, Erlenbach, ZH, 8703, Switzerland
Overview
INSPIRED operates as a perpetual, digital innovation expo where founders create multimedia “booths” and can specify exactly what resources—funding, expertise, partners—they need. Verified investors and collaborators browse AI-curated feeds, initiate outreach, and schedule calls, eliminating the cold-email grind typical of early-stage fundraising. Since launch the company has grown to a 12-person team, amassed over 17,000 people on its waitlist, and logged more than 7,000 active users and 20 investor–innovator calls in the first two weeks alone. Profiles now span 60+ countries with roughly 2,000 new projects and 200 verified investors joining each week. The platform is currently pre-revenue, focusing on user growth and product expansion; future monetization will come from targeted advertising, investment commissions on upcoming blockchain-enabled micro-investments, and sponsored innovation contests. To date, INSPIRED has secured CHF 2 million in capital to fund development. Near-term product plans include launching a blockchain-powered investing tool that lets anyone invest as little as USD 10 directly into listed projects.
