The F10 Investment AG was founded to invest in the most promising startups graduating from the F10 Incubation Program in Switzerland. The company has been launched with four investments in start-ups from Switzerland, UK and Germany.
Through the newly founded F10 Investment AG, Corporate Partners of the Swiss F10 hub can invest in carefully selected startups graduating from the F10 Incubation Program in Zurich. For each batch of the renowned program, the experienced F10 Startup Coaches and F10 Corporate Partners pick the best teams out of more than 300 applications from all over the world.

"Time is a decisive factor for startups. Funding at the right time helps the teams grow faster and take the first steps to scale their business. From the Incubation Program that’s been running in Zurich since 2016, we have seen that early strategic investments contribute significantly to the success of our startups", says James Sanders, Startup Coach, Investment Expert at F10 and now also General Manager of F10 Investment AG. According to a press release "qualified Investors get the chance to invest through the F10 Investment AG in a portfolio of tomorrow's game changers before anybody else."
