Wednesday, January 28, 2026 – “Apéro Pitch ton Business”: Foound Launches a New Platform for Local Projects
Ideas take root; talents come together.
On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Foound will open a new meeting space in Geneva for project leaders and entrepreneurs who want to grow their initiatives.
"Apéro Pitch ton Business": A New Event for Networking
Starting in January 2026, Foound is launching a bimonthly gathering dedicated to projects in their early stages. The idea is simple: to move from discussion to collective action by providing a platform for those who are driving change in the region.
The format: simple, effective, and user-friendly
Each evening is designed to foster mutual support and social interaction through two key activities:
Session 1: Pitches (6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.)
Each participant has 5 minutes to present their project.
The presentation concludes with an outline of specific needs, whether they involve seeking investors, partners, or specialized expertise.
A 3-minute Q&A session with the audience helps kick off the discussion and generate initial constructive feedback.
Part 2: Cocktails (7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
Once the introductions are over, the evening continues with a friendly cocktail reception featuring local products.
This is an opportunity to build genuine connections and have longer conversations with project leaders in a relaxed atmosphere.
This blend of structure and spontaneity allows everyone to find their place, regardless of their background.
Who can participate?
The event is open to anyone who wants to contribute to the local community:
As an attendee: Investors, prospective partners, entrepreneurs looking for synergies, or anyone simply curious to experience Geneva’s vibrant atmosphere.
As a pitcher: Emerging project leaders and entrepreneurs whose initiatives are aligned with Foound’s values (social and solidarity economy, culture, art, ecology, and inclusivity).
We came up with this format precisely to harness the power of our network and highlight these new initiatives.
To participate
But by the way, what is Foound?
Foound: 10 Years of Commitment to Creativity
This event is an opportunity to harness the power of our ecosystem. Since 2015, Foound has established itself as an iconic venue in Geneva. Founded by Fanny Arnaudo, an entrepreneur with expertise in law and marketing, Foound was born out of a pioneering vision: to create a “flexible space of freedom.”
Fanny envisioned a hybrid space where creativity meets social impact. The name itself—a fusion of “food” and “found”—embodies this desire to nurture local talent.
A network of 150 talented professionals at your service
Today, Foound brings together a community of more than 150 members: designers, marketers, artists, therapists, and entrepreneurs. By attending these events, you’ll join a network united by the values of sustainability, inclusivity, and tolerance.
Whether you're a project leader, a future partner, or simply curious to discover the creative energy of our city, you're welcome here.
