Last March, we had the incredible opportunity to present our company, Moodtalk, on the well-known TV show Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz on channel 3+. The episode aired on October 15, 2024. This moment was not only exciting because we got to present our solution to five experienced investors, but also because we were able to showcase our company to thousands of viewers on television. Here’s a recap of our appearance and the experiences we gained.
The outcome?
The Lions were thrilled. Bettina Hein and Felix Bertram, in particular, praised our innovative approach, which not only fosters short-term improvements in collaboration but also has a long-term impact on overall team culture. Bettina Hein emphasized how important it is that Moodtalk provides a solution that delivers measurable results while also being embraced by teams themselves. Felix Bertram was impressed by the simplicity and scalability of our platform, which can flexibly adapt to different industry needs.
A total of four investors—Bettina Hein, Felix Bertram, Lukas Speiser, and Tom Zimmermann—decided to invest in Moodtalk together. Their offer: 200,000 Swiss francs for three percent of our company shares.
We were delighted to accept this “four-way ticket” as the expertise and networks of these experienced entrepreneurs offer us immense advantages.
The first successes:
Our participation in Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz has already brought us numerous benefits:
- Increased visibility: More than ten media outlets reported on our appearance, giving us a reach of hundreds of thousands of people.
- Social media boom: Our posts on LinkedIn and other platforms achieved hundreds of thousands of impressions and brought many new connections.
- Inquiries from businesses: Many organizations that saw Moodtalk on the show reached out, asking, "How can we implement your solution in our teams?"
- Focus on teamwork: The topic of team development gained attention among many readers and viewers. The feedback: "We need to take action on this too."
Personal insights:
The experience of presenting our startup to a broad audience and investors was incredibly enriching. Not only did we receive valuable feedback, but we also learned how important it is to be bold and take big steps forward.
A look into the future:
Our collaboration with the investors is just beginning, but we look forward to the future with confidence. Our goal is to further develop Moodtalk’s Teamwork Assistant and actively shape the workplace of tomorrow.
We plan to expand our solution with new features that better meet the needs of different industries. Additionally, we are working on integrating Moodtalk into existing tools such as Microsoft Teams to make access even easier for users.
We thank everyone who is accompanying us on this journey—whether as customers, partners, or supporters. Together, we are creating a world where teams can unleash their full potential through better collaboration.
Let’s Moodtalk!
