Stacksync and FIT: Our Story

In the early days of Stacksync, when we were just getting started with our vision of real-time, two-way data sync between CRMs like Salesforce and NetSuite and databases, Fondation FIT believed in us.

In early 2023, FIT awarded Stacksync a CHF 20,000 Digital Grant to support our product launch and early development. Their support wasn't just financial—it was a vote of confidence in what we were building.

Today, Stacksync serves companies worldwide, helping them eliminate batch jobs, sync data in real-time, and build better data infrastructure.

We're proud to be part of FIT's portfolio alongside some of the most innovative companies in Switzerland.

Thank You, Fondation FIT

To the team at FIT—thank you for supporting Swiss innovation and for believing in Stacksync from the beginning.
