ACE Ventures

What they do

ACE Ventures is the dedicated venture capital arm of ACE & Company, a global investment group with over $2 billion in assets. Positioned as a team of "operators, engineers, and investors," they emphasize hands-on support born from real-world operational experience (e.g., partners include former executives from Uber and Vimeo). While they invest globally, they have recently sharpened their focus on the Swiss ecosystem through their "ACE Swiss Tech Outliers" fund, aiming to back the most disruptive founders from Switzerland and beyond. They are known for leading Seed and Series A rounds in high-technical-risk sectors like biotech, AI, and climate.

What they look for

ACE Ventures backs "outliers"-founders who challenge the status quo and build enduring companies in transformative sectors. Their manifesto emphasizes "building, not just betting," leveraging their team's operational background to support founders through the "grind and hustle."
