  "description": "March 2026 was one of Switzerland's most dynamic startup months yet — led by PAVE Space's blockbuster $40M seed round for orbital transfer vehicles, Venture Kick hitting its 1,000th startup milestone, and a cascade of deep tech deals across space, cleantech, and biotech. Emma and Ryan dig into the EY Barometer's record CHF 3.3B ecosystem numbers, unpack acquisitions of Starmind and EyeFitU, and give founders a frank take on Switzerland's structural innovation problem revealed by a new SERI government study. Plus: the DACH robotics and defence tech wave, Swiss fintech AI leadership, and why global ambition from day one is non-negotiable if you're building in Zürich.",
