Zühlke - empowering ideas

What we offer entrepreneurs and investors

High-tech start-ups are the real drivers of innovation in our society. They help to keep their respective economic areas competitive in the long term. In doing so they make significant investments of capital and labour, and bear high long-term risks. They are faced with considerable financing requirements, daunting technological challenges and a complex market.

What we offer entrepreneurs

Zühlke Ventures offers far more than just start-up financing. It also gives entrepreneurs practical help and advice on planning their company's strategy, building their corporate structure and subsequent financing. Entrepreneurs can enjoy all the benefits of our top-class know-how in product and software engineering.  

This close partnership is all about enabling companies to succeed, and it really pays off: it helps start-ups reduce their time to market and improve their chances of success.

We see ourselves as purely complementary to the start-up team and are happy to rely on their corporate management and decision-making skills. It is their company, and they are the ones who will ultimately lead it to success.

What we offer investors

Zühlke Ventures selects and works with the most suitable financing, business and technology partners according to the start-up's point of departure and its objectives. Co-investors gain considerable benefits from working with Zühlke Ventures: fast and reliable product development means lower risks, shorter investment cycles and greater profitability.

To achieve all this, Zühlke Ventures draws on the financial muscle, experience and international partner network of the Zühlke Group, one of Europe's leading technology and consulting companies with around 400 employees.
