Origin

«Why isn't there a Gründerball in Switzerland?»

When Daniel Andres and Teddy Amberg, the founders of Spicehaus Partners, were invited to the Gründerball in Berlin, they asked themselves exactly that.

They launched the first Gründerball back in 2019. Today, the Spicehaus Gründerball has grown substantially and is a glamorous invitation-only event for successful founders in Switzerland — proudly hosted every year through 2026.

Participation: By invitation only. Tickets are not publicly available; invitations go out to successful founders of Swiss startup companies.
Gala evening: An informal apéro, followed by a seated gala dinner and a party — complemented by special guests and surprises.
Dresscode: A glamorous gala evening with an elegant dresscode, black tie optional. Dress to impress!
