The Swiss entrepreneurs from the Museeka platform participated in X Media Lab in Bath (UK) earlier this year. Lars Farnstrom, one of the founders, said: "XML was a unique experience". Thanks to the contacts at the networking event the entrepreneurs from Lausanne gained access to investment and distribution partners that enabled them to reach out for Far East markets. Besides that the presentations to the mentors was invaluable practice for future venture capital pitches. The mentors gave helpful feedbacks regarding their technology infrastructure, product design and business model.
