Growth & Capital · 👥 HR / Payroll Software

They just raised CHF 2M. The hiring plan is already on the whiteboard.

Capital raises and leadership changes are the two moments when Swiss companies actively reconsider their HR and payroll stack. The window is short — a new CFO defaults to familiar software within weeks, and the first new hire locks the process in. Call before the decision is made, not after it's been announced.

The timing advantage

Be the first to know. Be the first to call.

HR and payroll software is rarely switched on a quiet Tuesday. It moves when something else moves first — a raise, a new executive, a company formation. These events are public record the moment they hit SHAB. Your window is 7–45 days.

1
Capital raises create immediate hiring intent

Eine Kapitalerhöhung von über CHF 1M signalisiert fast immer einen geplanten Personalaufbau. Die Gründer haben ein Wachstumsmandat des Verwaltungsrats. Wenn ihr aktuelles HR-Setup für fünf Personen gebaut wurde, hält es für fünfzehn nicht stand. Diese Lücke ist dein Einstiegspunkt — und sie öffnet sich in der Woche, in der das Amtsblatt publiziert, nicht im Monat, in dem die erste Stellenanzeige erscheint.

2
Leadership changes reset platform preferences

Ein neuer CFO, COO oder HR-Leiter kommt mit klaren Vorstellungen zu Software. Er setzt auf das Tool, das er kennt – es sei denn, jemand Besseres erreicht ihn zuerst. Der erste Anbieter, der in der ersten Woche eine glaubwürdige Schweizer Alternative präsentiert, bestimmt die Entscheidung. Nach der dritten Woche ist der bisherige Anbieter bereits wieder eingeloggt.

3
New registrations are buying nothing yet

Eine frisch eingetragene GmbH oder AG hat keine Verträge, keine Prozesse und keine versunkenen Kosten. Die Gründer bauen alles von Grund auf neu auf und suchen aktiv nach Empfehlungen. Eine neue Firma zu erreichen, bevor sie auf kostenlose Consumer-Tools oder die Empfehlung eines Bekannten zurückfallen, ist der Moment mit der höchsten Conversion im Vertriebszyklus.

Your signals

Which SHAB events matter for HR / Payroll Software

Three event types produce the highest-intent HR and payroll software leads. Each one surfaces a company at a distinct stage of the buying journey — before the search has even started.

💰 Capital Increase
HIGH SIGNAL
Eine Kapitalerhöhung zeigt dir: Das Unternehmen hat Mittel und den Auftrag zu wachsen. Die Mitarbeiterzahl wird fast immer Teil des Plans sein. Das ist das stärkste Signal für HR- und Lohnsoftware: Das Unternehmen braucht bald, was du verkaufst, das Budget ist vorhanden, und der Prozess ist noch nicht festgelegt. Melde dich in den ersten zwei Wochen, solange der Wachstumsplan noch offen ist.
👤 Leadership Change
HIGH SIGNAL
New executives — particularly CFOs, COOs, and HR leads — are the primary decision-makers for payroll and HR platforms. They inherit the current setup but rarely feel bound by it in the first 30 days. A well-timed outreach that acknowledges their new role and offers a quick audit of the existing stack lands very differently than a cold pitch six months in.
🆕 New Registration
HIGH SIGNAL
Every new AG or GmbH registered in the Swiss commercial register is a company with zero software contracts and zero inertia. They will buy HR and payroll tooling in the first three to six months — the only question is from whom. Being first in the conversation with a focused, Swiss-compliant offering puts you ahead of every cold outreach they receive later.
Real scenario
Capital Increase — Helix AG in Zurich — Day 1 vs Day 30

Helix AG closes a CHF 3M capital round. The gazette publishes Tuesday morning. Here is how the next thirty days unfold — depending on when you move.

8:04 AM
The SHAB publishes. Capital Increase for Helix AG, Zurich — CHF 3M. Public record as of this morning.
8:15 AM
Your Founders & Movers brief lands. HR / Payroll Software score: 94. AI angle attached: "Kapitalerhöhung von CHF 3M — Personalaufbau wahrscheinlich. Keine öffentlich genannte HR-Software. Lücke in der Lohnabrechnungs-Infrastruktur wahrscheinlich."
9:30 AM
You reach out the week of the capital raise. They're planning headcount. You offer a demo before they default to whatever the new CFO used at their last job.
Day 30
What happens if you wait: The new Head of HR starts Monday and brings their preferred platform from their previous employer. Your window closed before you knocked.
Why the window closes

Day 1 vs Day 30 — the difference is the deal

Act immediately
Day 1 — You call today
  • The hiring plan is still a whiteboard sketch. No software has been trialled and no reference calls made. You shape the requirements rather than respond to them.
  • The founders are in growth mode and receptive. A practical, Swiss-compliant offer cuts through because they haven't been pitched yet.
  • If a new CFO or HR lead is incoming, they haven't started yet. You reach the existing team before preferences are locked in by a new arrival.
  • Ein kostenloser 30-minütiger Setup-Audit ist leicht anzunehmen, wenn das Unternehmen Budget hat und keinen bestehenden Vertrag hat, den es rechtfertigen müsste.
Wait a month
Day 30 — You call next month
  • The new CFO or Head of HR has been in seat for two weeks and is already using the platform they brought from their last company.
  • The first hire has been onboarded through an ad hoc payroll process — switching now means migrating live employee data.
  • Three other vendors have already demoed. The company has a shortlist and is past the awareness stage entirely.
  • Your outreach lands as one of many cold approaches, with no specific reason tied to their actual situation today.
Reach out with reason

Not 'I help companies like yours.' A specific reason to call.

SHAB events give you a real, specific, verifiable reason to reach out. That changes the conversation from cold outreach to warm intelligence. The company knows the event happened. You referencing it signals competence, not coincidence.

✗ Generic cold outreach
Subject: HR software for growing teams
