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

Un aumento di capitale superiore a CHF 1M segnala quasi sempre un'espansione pianificata dell'organico. I fondatori hanno un mandato di crescita dal consiglio d'amministrazione. Se la loro attuale struttura HR è stata costruita per cinque persone, non reggerà per quindici. Quel divario è il suo punto d'ingresso — e si apre nella settimana in cui il foglio ufficiale pubblica, non nel mese in cui esce il primo annuncio di lavoro.

2
Leadership changes reset platform preferences

Un nuovo CFO, COO o Responsabile HR arriva con idee precise sul software. Promuoverà lo strumento che conosce, a meno che qualcuno di più pertinente non lo contatti per primo. Il primo fornitore a presentare un'alternativa svizzera credibile nella prima settimana orienta la decisione. Dopo la terza settimana, il fornitore già presente ha già effettuato l'accesso.

3
New registrations are buying nothing yet

Una GmbH o AG appena registrata non ha contratti, processi o costi irrecuperabili. I fondatori stanno costruendo tutto da zero e cercano attivamente raccomandazioni. Raggiungere una nuova azienda prima che si affidi agli strumenti gratuiti per consumatori o alla raccomandazione di un conoscente è il momento con il tasso di conversione più alto nel ciclo di vendita.

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
Un aumento di capitale le indica che l'azienda dispone di risorse e di un mandato di crescita. L'organico fa quasi sempre parte del piano. Questo è il segnale più forte per i software HR e di gestione delle buste paga: l'azienda avrà presto bisogno di ciò che lei vende, il budget è disponibile e il processo non è ancora definito. La contatti nelle prime due settimane, finché il piano di crescita è ancora flessibile.
👤 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: "Raccolta di CHF 3M — probabile espansione dell'organico. Nessun software HR pubblico menzionato. Probabile lacuna nell'infrastruttura per le buste paga."
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 di configurazione gratuito di 30 minuti è facile da accettare quando l'azienda dispone di un budget e non ha un contratto esistente da giustificare.
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.
