Nature for Impact: In Person Pitch Event Brainforest Ventures

Pitch. Connect. Celebrate.
Join us from 16:00 in Zürich on Thursday, June 18th 2026, for Brainforest's Pitch Event.
Over the past 10 weeks, 8 pre-seed/seed startups have supercharged their progress through our Venture Program receiving coaching, mentorship, and investor-readiness support. Now it's showcase time!
5 of them will pitch in person, presenting market-ready solutions at the intersection of business and biodiversity. Expect fresh ideas spanning soil health, circular food systems, sustainable aquaculture, and nature-based finance from teams rooted in Kenya, Bali, Turkey, and Switzerland.
You'll hear focused pitches, sharp questions from our jury: Bastian Wenzel (Somaha Stiftung), Amir Suissa (Brainforest Chairman), Joshua Berger (Bio Int), Ines Najorka (Bloom Foundation), and Aurelia Figueroa (CSO, Breitling) and you'll get to cast your own vote for your favourite startup.
