Finding plenty of worthy venture kickers was easily made, but narrowing down to just two finalist? Not so much. Last Wednesday Powzy and Fastree 3D won each CHF 20.000 at venture kick’s second stage. Now they are facing the big challenge to convince the jury in venture kick final and to get the maximum amount of CHF 100.000 start capital. The founders Sergio Almaguer, from POWZY and Edoardo Charbon, from Fastree 3D have both an EPFL backround.
