IRON ENERGY finished HSG START Accelerator

Last Tuesday afternoon marked an important milestone: the conclusion of our three-month journey with the HSG START Accelerator (HSA). The program wrapped up in style with its very first Demo Day — an energizing, inspiring, and memorable experience for everyone involved.

We had the privilege of pitching in front of 150 guests, while also connecting with over 150 investors and partners throughout the event. The energy in the room was electric. Attendees showed genuine interest, engaged in thoughtful conversations, and offered insights that made the day feel like a true launchpad for what comes next.

Looking back on the accelerator program, the past three months have been nothing short of transformative. We tackled cutting-edge challenges and benefited from deeply insightful incubator sessions that introduced us to decision-makers across multiple industries — from steel and IPPs to government and beyond. These interactions highlighted once again how powerful and supportive the University of St. Gallen’s (HSG) alumni network truly is.

It was a privilege to work alongside the dedicated HSA team and the other ambitious ventures in Batch 1. The collaborative spirit, shared learnings, and mutual encouragement made this experience truly special.

As we officially join the HSA alumni network, we’re excited for the insights, opportunities, and relationships that lie ahead. Demo Day may have marked the end of the program, but it’s only the beginning of what’s to come.

Here’s to the journey — and to everything the future holds. 🚀
