Special SICTIC Investor Academy masterclass: Product Market Fit
Join us for an in-depth session on how to build and invest in businesses that truly scale, featuring Michael Sauter, author of “Product–Market Fit – How to Build a Business That Scales”, alongside Ralph Mogicato, Board Member at SICTIC, and Thomas Gabathuler, SICTIC Angel Investor.
Together, they will explore why product–market fit (PMF) is one of the most critical success factors for startups and why investors place such strong emphasis on it.
The discussion will address key questions, including:
- Why product–market fit matters from an investor’s perspective
- What PMF really is and how it can be clearly defined
- What it takes for a startup to achieve sustainable product–market fit
- How founders can stay lean while focusing on PMF
- How problem-solution fit forms the foundation for PMF
- How to define and apply meaningful PMF benchmarks
- How to implement the PMF framework in practice
- How to execute effectively using the PMF Engine, PMF Blueprint, and PMF Principles
Whether you are a founder seeking clarity on your path to scaling or an investor evaluating early-stage opportunities, this masterclass offers practical frameworks, real-world insights, and proven tools to help you navigate the journey toward product–market fit.

148th SICTIC Investor Day @ Signature, Zurich
Kick off the new investment year with a fast-paced, in-person only SICTIC Investor Day designed to give active investors early access to the highest-rated startups remaining in the SICTIC pipeline. Each year, a number of promising applications receive high ratings but don’t make it into a pitch slot in time. To ensure fairness and maintain the efficiency of the pipeline, SICTIC hosts a dedicated Funnel Reset – an event built to surface every high-potential opportunity and give investors a comprehensive overview of SICTIC deal flow.
What to Expect
Ultra-Short Pitches (90 seconds each):
A rapid-fire format where each startup delivers a crystal-clear elevator pitch covering the problem, solution, traction, and funding needs.
Structured Investor–Startup Speed Dating:
Investors rotate in 5-minute cycles. A highly efficient way to determine fit and identify which discussions should go deeper.
Open Networking & Deal Room Corners:
Dedicated spaces for follow-up conversations, deal qualification, and connecting with both founders and the SICTIC team.
Pipeline Reset:
By showcasing all remaining top-rated startups in one evening, this event clears the path for the scouting team to focus on the next wave of applications.
