With our unique combination of entrepreneurship and institutional experience, we know what it takes to successfully build a start-up and actively support our portfolio companies.
We focus on real business models and entrepreneurs who want to build sustainably successful companies. Our primary focus is B2B software and we invest after the first successful «proof of concept».
We typically act as lead investor in funding rounds, bringing clarity and momentum to the process. Our efficient approach allows founders to stay focused on what truly matters — building and scaling their business.
Our goal is to drive digital transformation in Switzerland and make Swiss technology companies internationally successful, thereby creating jobs and driving innovation in Switzerland.
We are proud to work with many outstanding founders and actively support our portfolio companies on their journey to long-term success.
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.
