Investors

Our list of investors includes more than 120 business angel clubs, venture capitalists and corporate VCs who have invested in Swiss start-ups in the last years. The list is sorted by the date of the most recent announced investment. Each investors description includes a link to the relevant news items. As this list is public we take in account only officially announced or confirmed financing rounds. As some investors do not announce all their financing rounds we strongly recommend to visit their website and have a look at their portfolio. 

Descriptions can be filtered by type of investors and by industry. These filters are based on the real investment decisions in the past. When you activate a filter, you will get a list in alphabetical order.

Investors from abroad are included in the list if they have invested in at least two different Swiss start-ups.

We are pleased to receive suggestions and feedback on the list at news@startupticker.ch.

To find funding you also may look at our grants and loans directory. A general overview of sources of financing provides the SME portal of the EAER / WBF / DEFR.
