Peer Intelligence
& Collective Action

Established in 2015, SwissVC is a closed community of venture capital professionals actively investing in Switzerland, built around peer intelligence, operational excellence, and the tools shaping the next decade of investing.

Swiss venture capital is entering a new phase. AI is compressing timelines, LP expectations are rising, and the operational demands on fund managers have never been higher. With a dedicated guild system, SwissVC exists to help you navigate it, not through lectures, but through the collective intelligence of your peers.

The Network

Real conversations with real practitioners. Not panels, but structured peer sessions with expert partners where what is said stays in the room.

From AI-assisted due diligence to LP reporting automation, the focus is on the mechanics that separate great firms from good ones.

The Swiss Tech Ecosystem

Switzerland has ranked #1 on the global innovation index for 14 consecutive years. Its density of world-class research institutions, stable regulatory environment, and international talent pool make it one of the most compelling VC markets in Europe, and the moment to build is now.

ETH, EPFL, PSI, EMPA.. Switzerland's research base is unmatched. SwissVC connects the capital layer to the science layer. SwissVC exists at the intersection of this ecosystem and the capital that funds it. Members lead conversations that shape the next decade.

Every member is vetted. Chatham house rules. The trust that makes candid conversation possible.

Where the community meets

SwissVC is action-first. Guilds do the work, in closed sessions, on a Chatham House basis, across the year. Events are where that work surfaces: frameworks tested, playbooks shared, conclusions brought into the room. SwissVC is not an event platform.
