ACE Ventures

ACE Ventures is a Swiss-based early-stage venture capital firm investing in the next generation of Swiss tech entrepreneurs building transformative companies both in Switzerland and globally. As a spin-out of ACE & Company’s venture practice, which since 2013 has backed early rounds of breakout companies like Fivetran, GoCardless, Rippling, Astranis, Truebill, and more, ACE Ventures is now led by a team of operators and engineers who have built and scaled some of the world’s fastest-growing tech businesses, including Uber in Europe and Vimeo in the US.

In 2024, ACE Ventures launched ACE Swiss Tech Outliers (ASTO), an early-stage fund focused on supporting the next generation of Swiss tech entrepreneurs building transformative companies both in Switzerland and globally. The fund targets companies that are either based in Switzerland, founded by Swiss nationals, alumni of Swiss institutions (ETHZ, EPFL, HSG), or are actively building out of Switzerland. ACE Ventures plans six to seven investments annually, in Switzerland and abroad, and will open a Zurich office in 2025.

ACE Ventures' portfolio includes companies such as ANYbotics, Astranis, Bellabeat, ChargePoint, Docker, Fivetran, GoCardless, GRUB MARKET, H55, Kandou, Mashgin, N26, NEUSTARK, Picterra, Rippling, Veriff, Wayflyer, Wefox, and Wingtra. The firm is committed to fostering revolutionary shifts and creating lasting impact, focusing on genuine transformation rather than transient market trends.
