AXELRA
The magic in every beginning is what drives Axelra to accelerate early stage Tech Ventures with skin in the game.

Axelra, headquartered in Zurich, started as a Tech Venture Builder in 2019 with a focus on early-stage ventures. Recognized by the Financial Times in 2024, Axelra has since evolved, shifting the focus to its strategic investments. With a proven track record of accelerating over 45 tech ventures, co-creating 20 tech startups, and developing 8 portfolio companies, we blend strategic investments with hands-on advisory services to drive the growth and success of innovative startups.

Our approach is based on the two pillars:
