We focus on real business models and entrepreneurs who want to build sustainably successful companies. Our focus lies primarily on B2B software and we invest after the first successful «proof of concept».
Our aim is to drive digital transformation in Switzerland and make Swiss technology companies internationally successful, thereby creating jobs and driving innovation in Switzerland.
We are grateful to work with so many successful founders and actively support our portfolio companies.
Since 2012, we have invested in more than 40 start-ups and were part of some of Switzerland’s most successful exits including MOVU (acquired by Baloise) and Bexio (acquired by Mobiliar). We have seen hundreds of pitchbooks and met hundreds of founders and entrepreneurs. Our experience allows us to identify the best teams and help them to grow.
