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

Une augmentation de capital de plus de CHF 1M signale presque toujours une expansion prévue des effectifs. Les fondateurs ont un mandat de croissance du conseil d'administration. Si leur dispositif RH actuel a été conçu pour cinq personnes, il ne tiendra pas pour quinze. Cet écart est votre point d'entrée — et il s'ouvre la semaine où la feuille officielle publie, pas le mois où la première annonce d'emploi paraît.

2
Leadership changes reset platform preferences

Un nouveau CFO, COO ou DRH arrive avec des convictions sur les logiciels. Il imposera l'outil qu'il connaît, à moins qu'un prestataire plus pertinent ne le contacte en premier. Le premier fournisseur à présenter une alternative suisse crédible dès la première semaine oriente la décision. Après la troisième semaine, le prestataire en place est déjà reconnecté.

3
New registrations are buying nothing yet

Une GmbH ou AG nouvellement enregistrée n'a pas de contrats, pas de processus et pas de coûts irrécupérables. Les fondateurs construisent tout de zéro et cherchent activement des recommandations. Atteindre une nouvelle entreprise avant qu'elle ne se tourne par défaut vers des outils grand public gratuits ou la recommandation d'une connaissance est le moment de conversion le plus élevé dans le cycle de vente.

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
Une augmentation de capital vous indique que l'entreprise dispose de ressources et d'un mandat de croissance. L'effectif fait presque toujours partie du plan. C'est le signal le plus fort pour les logiciels RH et de gestion de la paie : l'entreprise aura bientôt besoin de ce que vous vendez, le budget est disponible et le processus n'est pas encore défini. Prenez contact dans les deux premières semaines, tant que le plan de croissance est encore flexible.
👤 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: "Levée de CHF 3M — expansion des effectifs probable. Aucun logiciel RH public mentionné. Lacune probable dans l'infrastructure de paie."
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.
  • Un audit de configuration gratuit de 30 minutes est facile à accepter lorsque l'entreprise dispose d'un budget et n'a pas de contrat existant à justifier.
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
