Why We Chose Crowdfunding for Our New Raise
When startups raise capital, there are many possible routes: traditional venture capital, bank financing, or private investors. So why did we choose crowdfunding for our new raise at Big Sack? The answer is simple: because it aligns perfectly with both our growth strategy and our ecological mission.
1. Scaling Faster With the Right Fuel
Raising capital is about giving us the means to accelerate. With this round, we can expand distribution, strengthen our digital platform, and roll out services that make waste management smarter and more sustainable. Every franc invested helps us scale solutions that reduce waste and emissions in the construction industry.
2. More Than Just Capital
Crowdfunding is not just about money. It allows us to connect with investors who also bring credibility, networks, and know-how. In a sector where trust and partnerships are crucial, this makes a real difference.
3. Building a Community Around Our Mission
The construction industry in Switzerland accounts for 50% of raw material consumption, one third of CO₂ emissions, and 80% of waste. We want to change that. By crowdfunding, we can invite our customers, partners, and supporters to join us as co-owners. They are not only users of our service, but active participants in our ecological mission.
4. Validating What We Stand For
Every investment in this campaign is a signal that people believe both in our business model and in our vision that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. This validation strengthens us as we prepare for the next stages of growth.
5. Laying the Groundwork for the Future
Completing this round is also a stepping stone. It will allow us to unlock alternative financing such as working capital and inventory lines from our banking partners, making us even more resilient and ready for expansion.
For us, crowdfunding is the natural choice. It brings capital, community, and credibility together, while giving everyone the chance to take part in solving one of Switzerland’s biggest environmental challenges.
