Focus
We invest in technical founders building category-defining companies in cybersecurity, fintech infrastructure, and applied AI.
We get involved early—at the seed stage—when there’s still risk and ambiguity. But also a foundation: a team, a product, a vision, and the drive to lead a market.
We partner with founders who know what they’re building, why it matters, and have a plan to scale it.
-
We focus where we have experience:
Cybersecurity with strong technical defensibility
Fintech infrastructure (API-first, embedded, scalable)
Applied AI solving complex, high-value B2B problems
We back teams solving hard, urgent problems—through technology, clarity, and execution.
-
We invest in companies with strong European roots. That could mean the founding team is based in Europe, the core operations are here, or the company was born from a European institution or ecosystem.
If you’re from somewhere else but with European DNA, that still fits. What matters is where the company is built and the context it’s scaling into.
-
We invest at seed. There might not be revenue yet, but there should be:
A working product (or prototype)
Technical validation or strong IP
Clear customer or market insights
Most of all, we look for ambition. We back companies that can become leaders in their category—businesses that are built to last, not just to raise the next round.
-
Great companies show signs early. FAST is how we spot them. It brings structure to intuition—guiding our focus to the team, the market, the solution, and momentum that actually matters.
Founders: Do we believe in the team?
Area: Is the opportunity massive and timely?
Problem: Does the product solve a real problem?
Traction: Are there early signals for success?
-
We typically invest CHF 500k to 2M in the initial round, with room for selective follow-ons as the company scales.
We like to lead, but don’t have to. We work well with co-investors who share our mindset: founder-first, technically sharp, and focused on long-term outcomes.
-
We ask hard questions, early. We’re collaborative—but honest. We challenge thinking, push for clarity, and show up when it matters most.
We push founders when they feel stuck. We help unblock decisions, reframe roadmaps, and bring momentum when it’s needed most. Our goal is simple: to help you unleash your full potential.
We’re not passive capital. We help with:
Product and roadmap thinking
Hiring and org design
GTM and early sales strategy
Enterprise, regulatory, and partnership navigation
Templates, playbooks, and operational best practices
We move quickly, stay close, and back founders through the messy middle.
