We presented Aindez at Studio Alpha Jam

This week I was in San Francisco, California, where I finally met our Swiss investors in Aindez in person: Andreas Ziltener and Fabian Hediger of StudioAlpha Capital.

They invested in Aindez without ever having met us in person. Everything, from the first conversation to the investment, happened over video calls. This was the first time we shook hands.

Dinner at Tadich Grill

We shared a great dinner at Tadich Grill, the oldest restaurant in California, the day before Studio Alpha Jam.

Studio Alpha Jam is the annual event where startups from the Studio Alpha portfolio, along with a few invited companies, present their progress.

At Studio Alpha everything works like a music studio. They are the producers and the startups are the bands: they back them from the start, the way a producer works with a band until it records its first demo. That's why their demo day isn't called a demo day. It's called the Jam.

Aindez in front of global investors

The next day we presented Aindez to global investors at Studio Alpha Jam, the event organized by StudioAlpha Capital, the Swiss accelerator that invested in Aindez.

The Jam took place at Cooley's office on the Embarcadero, overlooking the bay.

We already have follow-up calls scheduled.

At the event I also caught up with Christian Van Der Henst, co-founder of Platzi.

After the Jam we went to eat at Pier 23, on the bay.

And before heading home, I didn't miss the chance to ride a Waymo again.

A great way to close 2025. Full speed ahead.
