Initiative for more transparency in the ecosystem

Startupticker.ch and Startup.ch, operated by Venturelab, have been working together for years. Company profiles from startup.ch are displayed on Startupticker and news from Startupticker flows into the profiles of Startup.ch. Now the cooperation has been taken a step further. Venturelab and Startupticker are teaming up for the Swiss Venture Capital Report (SVCR). The aim is to make the financing activities even more transparent. The two organisations will therefore share non-confidential data and also launch a call to report investments that have not yet been published.

Call to report investments

Start-ups have several options to announce financing rounds for the next Venture Capital Report. They can either update their profile on Startup.ch or inform the Startupticker editorial team by sending an email to news@startupticker.ch. The Venture Capital Report offers an ideal medium to make startups better known. It also serves as a showcase for the Swiss startup scene and as a basis for decision-making for various stakeholders in the ecosystem, including investors, VC firms, business angels, funding bodies and government agencies. The more rounds are reflected in the report, the better the publication can fulfil these tasks.

"I am very pleased that we were able to win Venturelab and startup.ch as partners," says Startupticker.ch editor-in-chief and SVCR co-author Stefan Kyora, "I am sure that together we will be able to further broaden the data base and, above all, motivate even more startups to publish information on their financing rounds. With our two existing research partners Verve Ventures and SICTIC, and our long-standing co-editor Seca, we are ideally positioned on the corporate and investor side to provide a holistic picture of the Swiss funding landscape." 

Jordi Montserrat, Managing Partner Venturelab, comments: “ We are very glad about the continuous and strengthened collaboration with Startupticker.ch, Seca and the partners for the Swiss Venture Capital Report. Startup.ch already shares about swiss funding activity on a daily and monthly summary basis, joining the effort to have a common yearly report goes with our mission to support swiss Start-ups in their fund raising and internationalisation and better supporting the ecosystem moving forward.”

Swiss Venture Capital Report is the complete source of information on the Swiss venture capital market. In addition to analysis, the print magazine contains a comprehensive list of investments, exits and new venture capital funds. Swiss Venture Capital Report will appear on 27 January 2022 for the 10th consecutive year. The authors are Stefan Kyora and Thomas Heimann, vice general secretary of the investors’ association SECA. The report is published by startupticker.ch and SECA in partnership with startup.ch. In addition, research partners Verve Ventures and SICTIC contribute information.
