Lupa completes Venture Kick programme with CHF150,000 in support
The Zurich company, formerly Prismus, will expand its AI platform for connecting scientific knowledge with commercial opportunities.
Lupa, formerly known as Prismus, has reached Venture Kick’s third-stage milestone, bringing its announced programme financing to CHF150,000. The support will help the Zurich company expand adoption across deeptech markets and open its platform to more individual users.
The programme combines staged financing and coaching. Venture Kick’s terms integrate early support into a convertible loan as a company progresses, so the CHF150,000 represents programme financing rather than an additional grant on top of earlier stages.
Lupa connects research publications, patents and industry information so businesses can identify markets, prospective customers and research partners. Its AI agents rank opportunities against a user’s technical context and retain links to underlying sources. The company reports that its platform already has thirty paying customers.
