We invest after the proof of concept
We look for real business models and for founders intent on building durable companies. Our primary focus is B2B software, and we commit once a first commercial proof of concept is in place.
Swiss venture capital for what comes next.
We invest in early-stage technology companies in Switzerland and stay with their founders well beyond the first round.
More than capital
Spicehaus Partners AG is an independent Swiss venture capital investor, wholly owned by its partners. We focus on early-stage companies in the Swiss technology sector.
Our team combines institutional investment experience with the practice of building companies – and applies both on behalf of the founders we back. Since 2012 we have invested in more than 40 companies, and we remain closely involved long after a round has closed.
Portfolio
Our portfolio spans the sectors in which Swiss engineering and software meet genuine commercial demand – from fintech and insurtech to robotics, cybersecurity and industrial AI. We typically lead the round, and we work alongside founders from the first close onwards.

Approach
Our approach is deliberate rather than quick. Each stage rests on the one before it, so that conviction is established before capital is committed – and so that support continues long after it has been.
We lead, and we bring clarity
We typically act as lead investor, bringing structure and pace to the round. An efficient process allows founders to remain focused on what matters – building and scaling the business.
We stay for the long term
Our involvement does not end at the closing. We open our corporate network and work with our portfolio companies on the decisions that shape the next stage of their growth.
Team
Our team combines institutional investment experience with the practice of founding and building companies – more than thirty years of it, across private equity, investment banking and Swiss technology start-ups.
