Switzerland ranks first among the most innovative countries and is an attractive location for tech ventures far beyond fintechs. Around 50,000 new companies are founded every year, of which statistically only 10-20% survive. Good entrepreneurs are more in demand than ever, because they and their teams make the difference.
Every entrepreneur knows the challenge of having to build up their company and find customers and talent - and, above all, having to raise funds. Especially at early stage (before the company earns more money than it spends), quick and easy access to liquidity and support are needed in Switzerland. In 2022 CHF 3.9 billions of venture capital has been injected into the Swiss startup ecosystem. And there are other funding sources outside Switzerland that invest in Swiss startups.
As a Swiss tech venture builder, we deal with startups and investors daily and have compiled our findings from all meetings in this Tech Venture Funding Map for Switzerland. We want to contribute to the Swiss venture ecosystem and help founders and investors make the best use of their precious time.
