Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Swisscom Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Series C, Growth, and Late Stage rounds in Enterprise SaaS, Cybersecurity, Data Infrastructure, and Cloud Infrastructure, especially across Switzerland, North America, and Europe.

Focus statement

They allocate 50% of capital to the Swiss ecosystem and focus the remainder on North America, Europe and Israel, with sector emphasis on enterprise B2B technologies (cloud, 5G/telecom monetization, networking/security/SASE, privacy-enhancing technologies, SaaS and data/AI).

Value Add

Corporate backing from Swisscom — enables strategic partnerships with CSPs and access to operator customers and distribution channels (demonstrated by investments like Cato Networks and MATRIXX).
Explicit dual mandate: support Swiss startups (50% of capital) while pursuing global opportunities in North America, Europe and Israel.
Operational/local presence and network (Swisscom Outpost in Silicon Valley) used for active scouting, deal flow and market insights.
Focus on strategic, industry-aligned investments (examples: SASE/CSP synergies with Cato; privacy/PETs with Inpher) rather than purely financial plays.
Ability to help portfolio companies enter and scale in Switzerland/Europe via Swisscom relationships and enterprise customers.
