Investment Focus
We invest in Swiss-based companies that offer disruptive digital or hybrid solutions to significant market problems, with a clear potential for international expansion. We prioritize teams that are fully committed, possess relevant industry experience, and demonstrate rapid execution capabilities, especially in launching a minimum viable product (MVP) and generating revenue within 100 days. Our focus is on ventures that leverage cutting-edge technologies to create proprietary intellectual property while ensuring sustainable growth and operational excellence. Our investment criteria are:
1. Swiss Start, Global Growth: Ventures should begin in Switzerland with clear potential for international expansion, demonstrating scalable market entry strategies.
2. Problem-Solving and Market Potential: Companies must tackle significant problems in large markets that are not easily mitigated, ensuring opportunities for substantial growth and impact.
3. Team Composition and Commitment: We support fully committed entrepreneurial teams with skin in the game. Ideal teams initially exhibit strong pioneer and cowboy elements, demonstrating innovation and rapid execution. As the venture matures, we expect the team to develop robust farming capabilities, ensuring sustainable growth and operational excellence.
4. Industry Experience and Networking: Founders should have relevant industry experience and strong networks. They must understand their venture's terrain, convert leads into customers or investors, and quickly become influential figures within their industry.
5. Technological and Innovative Solutions: Ventures should leverage cutting-edge technologies and develop digital or hybrid products and services, ensuring the creation of proprietary intellectual property with in-house tech teams.
6. Rapid MVP Traction and Revenue Focus: Teams must be capable of launching a minimum viable product (MVP) and generating revenue within 100 days, demonstrating strong execution capabilities. Entrepreneurs should prioritize revenue generation and profitability, ensuring a clear path to sustainable growth without relying solely on external funding.
