Linda Brunner

I’ve spent over a decade in financial services and cybersecurity, always driven by a passion for building and improving systems, teams, and processes. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across different sectors and regions—from KPMG and Nettobank, Switzerland’s first fintech, to Notenstein Privatbank and DKSH, where I got to lead market expansions, especially in Asia. 

I co-founded Momentus, a consultancy for digital transformation, and Pexos, a fintech startup. While Pexos didn’t succeed, it taught me more than any textbook could and reinforced my belief in the importance of learning from every challenge. Most recently, I was part of the management team at Futurae Technologies, where I helped scale the business, driving a 5x increase in ARR, an NPS of 71, and securing key partnerships like Barclays, Raiffeisen, and Avaloq.

I joined IYK because I believe Europe’s cybersecurity, fintech, and AI sectors are on the brink of something big. Unlocking this potential requires more than capital—it requires the right guidance, experience, and support. At IYK, we strive to be the investor we would have wanted when we were founders, offering true partnership and real, actionable help.

In my free time, I’m an avid traveler, having explored some of the world’s most unexpected places—from dancing on Vanuatu’s National Day to navigating the camel market in Somaliland. I also enjoy hiking volcanoes, even if the summit is 99% of the time hidden in the clouds!I joined IYK because I believe in building a community of rebels—entrepreneurs who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo and tackle the hardest problems with creativity and passion. At IYK, we’re more than investors—we’re partners on the same mission: to change how things are done and support bold innovators. Together, there’s nothing we can’t tackle.
