Pitching at Swissnex Startup Camp in San Francisco

Dexterous Endoscopes was one of 10 Swiss startups selected for the Innosuisse Startup Camp at Swissnex in San Francisco, pitching its variable stiffness endoscope to the Bay Area innovation community.

News

Dexterous Endoscopes was selected for the Innosuisse Startup Camp (All Industries), hosted by Swissnex in San Francisco from September 7 to 17, 2026. The two-week program brings a small group of Swiss startups to the Bay Area to prepare for the US market, with expert sessions, fireside chats and networking with investors and industry leaders.

On September 10, CEO Yegor Piskarev pitched our variable stiffness endoscope at the Swissnex Startup Pitch Night, alongside nine other Swiss startups, in front of an audience of investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts.

Beyond the official program, some of the most valuable moments happened informally. Founders from very different industries swapped stories, compared notes on entering the US market, and shared contacts and advice. The camp built a real community of Swiss entrepreneurs who continue to support each other.

The camp gave us direct access to US investors, advisors and partners, and was the first step of a US trip that included visits to leading surgeons and hospitals.

We thank Swissnex in San Francisco and Innosuisse for this opportunity.
