zkipster gains a new financial partner, Is the star app at NYFW

While New York Fashion Week was getting underway, it felt like our team here at zkipster was having our own moment on the catwalk.

For the past three years zkipster has been a strong presence at Fashion Week, providing fashion power houses like Maison Martin Margiela with the best digital guest list app, to make sure uninvited guests have zero chances to gatecrash.

Last week, in an article entitled "You're Who? Not Even Close," The New York Times called zkipster "the new weapon to the defensive arsenal" of event planners. The NY Daily News said, "Fashion Week has a new star, an app that stops imposters from crashing parties and shows."

"They turned a paper based solution into a digital business giving event planners a tool to professionalize their offering. Our commitment will help zkipster continue its significant growth and maintain its leading position."

On the heels of this Fashion Week fervor, we are also excited to announce we've closed a new financing round with Zürich Cantonal Bank (ZKB) that will greatly further our expansion.

On our new partnership both parties had much to say: "The zkipster team has managed to build an impressive track record in a very short time”, said David Hug, a member of ZKB's startup-finance team. "They turned a paper based solution into a digital business giving event planners a tool to professionalize their offering. Our commitment will help zkipster continue its significant growth and maintain its leading position."

"ZKB is the perfect fit for us – bringing their start-up resources together with our vision to deliver strong guest list solutions to our clients", said co-founder David Becker. "But this is only the first step. We are working on a series of exciting guest list solutions and are excited to partner with one of the world’s safest and best rated banks to unveil them."

We are excited to begin a new chapter in partnership with ZKB and look forward to all the growth and development that is most certainly to come.
