MISSION
Alpana Ventures is a Swiss VC focusing on digital transformation.
Committed to value creation, we discover deep tech solutions in Switzerland, Europe and US.

Since 2015, we backed 45 founders supporting them in their journey towards a positive impact.

These include scalable ICT, healthtech or mobility solutions for optimized resources utilization. Applying ESG criteria, our portfolio companies also help create a more sustainable future.

We’ve been investing in digital startups mainly in Switzerland for 5 years. Regularly ranked among the most innovative countries, thanks to its Universities and R&D centers as well as its management and design schools, Switzerland is home to an ever-growing ecosystem of promising deep tech solutions. Focused on digital transformation, we identify and support young companies that leverage on technologies to empower and enable people.

We believe that the coming decade will fundamentally reshape social and environmental conditions for the better. The companies we invest in have often naturally embraced the objectives laid out in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), even before they were actually established.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a blueprint until 2030, drive a shift in awareness that will prove to be the same sort of structural growth opportunity that digital technology has created – a change that will impact every sector of the economy and society at large.

Alpana Ventures can be reached through its website alpana-ventures.ch and its LinkedIn page. Its general enquiries address is info@alpana-ventures.ch.

Contacts are sourced from the firm's website and LinkedIn and re-verified on a rolling cycle. Spot a stale contact, or none at all? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
Yes. Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query Alpana Ventures directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
