Nicolas Berg of RedAlpine in Zurich has a great presentation about the momentum in the Swiss early-stage Ecosystem (embedded below). He says:
Wanted investor types for Switzerland
1. Serial entrepreneurs with at least one top exit
2. Micro VC funds
- managed by serial entrepreneurs (age 25-45) and successful angels
- very active investment approach in seed and early-stage
- diversified portfolio of 15+
- Entrepreneurial LPs (serial entrepreneurs 50+, family offices)
3. Co-investment and side-car funds
- less active or passive investment manager approach
- government and corporate funded
- driven by economic impact, not returns only
