First investment out of 130 startups in HSG START Accelerator

Fundraising

Dexterous Endoscopes was selected for the HSG START Accelerator, a highly competitive program supported by the University of St. Gallen, the Canton of St. Gallen, and leading partners from the Swiss startup ecosystem.

Out of more than 130 startups, Dexterous Endoscopes was chosen as the first and only company to receive an investment, highlighting the strong potential of its technology and business approach. The program was instrumental in helping the team strengthen its company foundations, including refining the business case, financial planning, and pitching to investors.

We are especially happy that HSG is our first investor, as the team behind the HSG START Accelerator feels more like a family. It has been a real pleasure to work together and even spend time outside of work, building strong personal and professional relationships.

Through the accelerator, the team worked closely with experienced mentors and investors, positioning Dexterous Endoscopes for its next stage of growth and fundraising.
