Everything you need to know
Questions about joining SwissVC, pricing, renewals, or how the community works. If something isn’t covered here, reach out directly.
Membership gives you access to the full SwissVC community: year-round programming, guild sessions run on a Chatham House basis if you're a member of a guild, flagship events, and curated intelligence produced by the guilds. You are joining a closed network of active venture capital professionals investing in Switzerland, not a mailing list.
Yes. All members must first apply and meet our eligibility requirements. Priority is given to active professionals working full-time at VC firms and currently deploying capital. If accepted, you will receive a secure link to submit your membership dues. Payment is not collected in the application.
Membership dues are paid annually. Pricing reflects the level of participation, Network Member or Guild Member. Full pricing details are shared during the application review. Apply to receive them.
No. Access to the community, guild sessions, events, and curated intelligence is included in a paid membership. SwissVC does not offer a free tier, the value of the network depends on the commitment of its members.
There are two membership tracks:
If you are no longer actively employed at the firm tied to your membership, your membership becomes inactive. If you join a new qualifying firm before the end of your current billing cycle, the remaining duration can be transferred to your new role. At renewal, you will be invoiced to the new firm.
If you are not employed in a qualifying role, you receive a 3-month alumni period with the same community access. Your membership concludes at the end of that grace period.
No. SwissVC events, including the annual summit and guild sessions, are open exclusively to paying members of the community depending on their memberships. Ticket cost for flagship events is paid at the time of registration to the events.
Memberships renew annually on the same date each year. For example, if you join on 30 July 2026, your membership will automatically renew on 30 July 2027 and the payment method on file will be charged. You will receive a reminder ahead of your renewal date.
No. SwissVC membership is individual. The pricing model is consistent across all members regardless of team size or firm affiliation. If you have feedback on how your team engages with the community, we’d like to hear from you.
Yes. You can cancel at any time, with a minimum 30 days’ notice before your renewal date. If you cancel before your renewal, you retain access to the community through the end of your current membership cycle.
Refunds are not permitted.
Upon acceptance, a secure payment link is sent via Stripe. Major credit cards, Google Pay, and bank transfer are accepted. You can update your payment method at any time ahead of renewal.
