„The market is really difficult to fundraise, be careful“, „money is tight“, „you are not an AI or tech company“ - all sentences we heard in our current financial round. They are true for sure. But we made it and closed our biggest financial round we have ever had yesterday successfully. How did we manage? First of all, our team worked hard, performed and we have reached all our important KPIs in 2025 - for the first time 10 months in a row. We became international & deliver to 60+ countries & have more than 30‘000 happy customers. Second, the dance market is growing worldwide fastly and this helps. Third, we lead fundraising as a project with committed investors who we met monthly to fill in our longlist and who joined us to pitch. A bit thanks to Patric Rupp Manuel Reuteler Christoph Weber Martin Scholl and Norbert Zeller And yes, sometimes it was difficult and time-intense, but thanks to all the meetings we came across the following: - new strategic advisors such as Peter Schüpbach or Christian Polanc - tons of feedback how to improve our story, how to develop our brand further and concrete activities - an additional production which will be a game changer for us - new cooperations with the musicals of Freddy Burger Management We enjoyed it! Thanks to our whole team who made this possible!
