Habiba Alami, the Entrepreneur behind a platform that is uniting Switzerland through digital giving

Some entrepreneurs build products. Others build movements. Habiba Alami belongs to the second category.

As founder and CEO of Happy Pot, she has not only created the first Swiss digital fundraising platform, but also a growing ecosystem where individuals, communities and causes across Switzerland mobilize money collectively in a simple, trusted and human way.

Happy Pot is the first Swiss digital money pot that enables people to collect money online in less than 2 minutes for shared goals, personal events and public causes. Campaigns can be set up for a wide range of use cases, including birthdays, weddings, farewell gifts, shared expenses, community initiatives, and public causes. This versatility makes the platform accessible to both individuals and organizations without requiring prior experience in online fundraising. What makes it stand out is not only the technology but the community dynamic it has created. What started as a practical solution for everyday fundraising has grown into a community driven ecosystem used across Switzerland. Every day people use Happy Pot to support each other, celebrate together and act collectively.

A platform designed for real life fundraising

Habiba Alami founded Happy Pot after observing that many existing crowdfunding platforms were either overly complex, poorly adapted to local regulations, or disconnected from how people actually collect money in everyday life. Her approach was to design a tool that feels natural to use, whether for a small group or a broader community.

A founder with a clear vision and strong execution

Habiba Alami launched Happy Pot with a bold ambition: create a Swiss alternative to global fundraising platforms such as GoFundMe (US), Kickstarter (US), and Leetchi (France) that truly reflects local values, trust, transparency and social cohesion.

Rather than copying existing models, she designed Happy Pot around real life use cases. Group gifts, shared expenses, community initiatives and common causes all live on the same platform. This simplicity has allowed Happy Pot to grow organically through word of mouth and community adoption.

This dual model, private and public, has enabled Happy Pot to connect people beyond social circles and contribute to a sense of collective responsibility.

Innovation rooted in community, not hype

Happy Pot’s innovation lies in its ability to combine intuitive technology with social intelligence. The platform removes friction from online money collection while encouraging participation and trust. Payments are secure, transparent, and flexible. Campaigns can be public or private, short term or ongoing.

Campaigns may have a fixed end date or remain open over time, making them suitable for both one time events and long term initiatives. Organizers can access funds without necessarily closing their pots, allowing projects to evolve naturally.

Under Habiba Alami’s leadership, Happy Pot has become a place where people feel comfortable contributing not because they are pushed to, but because they feel part of something meaningful.

This community driven approach is what differentiates Happy Pot from traditional crowdfunding platforms. It is not built around virality or spectacle, but around reliability, consistency, and human connection.

An entrepreneurial mindset that brings people together

Habiba Alami is widely recognized for her hands on entrepreneurial approach. With a background in technology, finance and digital strategy, she combines vision with execution. She is deeply involved in product decisions, user experience and platform evolution.

Her leadership has helped Happy Pot attract a diverse and engaged user base and position itself as a trusted digital fundraising platform in Switzerland. The platform operates in multiple languages English, French, German and Italian reflecting its ambition to bring together Switzerland’s different regions and communities.

By creating a tool that enables people to support each other easily, Habiba Alami has contributed to strengthening social bonds through technology.
