Swiss Company Builder Centralway Launches Early Stage Fund

Centralway, domiciled in Zurich, has developed its own efficient technologies and processes for building innovative ventures. This is how it can operate "industrialised company building." A first venture which was built by Centralway is the banking app start-up Numbrs. Centralway AG is based on four pillars that support innovative web ideas: web companies in Centralway Factory, data security and hosting in Centralway Cloud, training talent in Centralway Academy and financing with Centralway Seed.

In addition Centralway has now launched Centralway Ventures. Centralway Ventures has a global investment focus and will be investing into innovative early stage ventures. It will operate an office at Centralway’s premises in Zurich but be headquartered at Somerset House in London, sharing its office with Numbrs and Sandbox, two other portfolio companies of Centralway. The key differentiator of Centralway Ventures is its focus on providing value to the entrepreneurs behind its portfolio companies and becoming their strategic partner, enabling them to scale internationally. We strive to be the investor, we as entrepreneurs, would have liked to have. Centralway Ventures provides smart money from entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

Centralway Ventures has already invested in the Silicon Valley start-up Buttercoin. Cederic Dahl, Founder and CEO of Buttercoin, comments: “Time is a startups most valuable asset, money is important, but it’s not as valuable as time, you can always raise more money, you can never buy more time. Centralway understands this and has been artful in their approach. Every time we connect the result is a high-value outcome, this is how Venture Capital should be, and I suspect other institutions will follow Centralway’s lead.”
