(CONNECT) Revario launched its second crowdfunding campaign on August 27, 2026, as detailed in a statement. Last year, around 400 people invested in the manufacturer of sustainable sports apparel based in Marly in the Swiss canton of Fribourg as part of the company’s first campaign of this kind. According to information from Revario, this helped to drastically advance its market development in German-speaking Switzerland. In particular, online sales across the region developed positively: While in the previous year, around 30 orders per month had been received, this has now increased to around 100. Moreover, Revario is represented across German-speaking Switzerland with four partnershops in Bern, Zurich, Lucerne and Schaffhausen.
The current campaign seeks to build on this momentum and aims to further accelerate growth in German-speaking Switzerland. With a funding target of 600,000 Swiss francs, Revario plans to put the proceeds of this crowdfunding campaign towards increasing its online advertising budget, expanding its number of physical retail locations and linking up more frequently with influencers, among other initiatives. Moreover, targeted investments in machinery for the production facility in Marly are planned to generate efficiency gains. The funding is also intended to secure working capital until the company achieves profitability. ce/ja
