Starmind starts the first financing round giving out shares to selected investors and partners.
On May 28, 2010 Marc Vontobel, Starmind’s head IT and partner of Starmind together with Pascal Kaufmann, former president and founder of Starmind Ltd. have successfully signed off the foundation of the new company “Starmind International AG”. The foundation in Zurich’s notary office was supervised by Andreas Niemack from the internationally operating Swiss trust company Interis AG.

Starmind has roots at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and was initially installed as an association operated by University and ETH graduates. Later, Starmind Ltd. was founded as a private liability company (Gmbh), allowing Starmind to close first collaboration contracts with partners and universities and to effectively trade know-how. With the increasing interest in Starmind from the side of users, business clients and potential investors a new legal structure was designed allowing investors to purchase Starmind shares strengthening Starmind’s financial basis in a first financing round. The Starmind company is supported by a highly distinguished advisory board representing different industries and sectors, supporting the Starmind board of directors headed by Pascal Kaufmann and Marc Vontobel. Starmind Ltd. will be integrated into the corporation and focus on Starmind’s business services.

The successful Starmind launch was then celebrated at Club Amber in Zurich to which team members, VIPs and various Starmind supporters have been invited. The SHAB publication date was set to 10.06.2010, Publ. 5668510.
