Optiverse receives 150,000 Swiss francs from Venture Kick

According to a press release, the start-up Optiverse has received funding of 150,000 Swiss francs from Venture Kick to further expand its solutions for supporting and preparing meetings with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and to accelerate its market entry. The Zurich-based ICT start-up will use the money to expand its infrastructure and accelerate the introduction of its technology in other companies.

Optiverse's AI technology automates labor-intensive meeting tasks, including taking minutes, automating follow-up actions and delivering knowledge in an easily accessible format. The video summary technology extracts the most important highlights and provides users with an intelligent meeting platform. According to the press release, this will allow employees to concentrate fully on the meeting, as the administrative work will be done in the background. The software supports several languages.

Optiverse's solution is aimed at team management, executives and sales and marketing specialists from various industries and company sizes, among others. The service is already used by 15 Swiss companies every day. Users report an average saving of 6.8 hours per week thanks to the platform.

The founding team consists of CEO Elio Assaf, CTO Raphael Ausilio and COO Mario Assaf. Optiverse works together with researchers from the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich(ETH) and Lausanne(EPFL), the University of St.Gallen(HSG) and HEC Lausanne. ce/gba
