Focus statement

Focused on digital health start-ups across Europe that "improve patients’ access to healthcare," the firm invests in companies with demonstrated traction and a scalable business model that are already active in or want to enter the Swiss market.

Clear Swiss-market orientation: targets companies already active in or aiming to enter Switzerland.
Practical stage/size filter: excludes anything "clearly too early, too late, too small or too big," indicating a pragmatic, check-listed approach to fit.
