AMYP Ventures
AMYP Ventures is a Swiss single-family office investing directly in early-stage tech and Swiss real estate, led by Peter Kalbermatten from Zug and Dallas.
AMYP Ventures
AMYP Ventures was established in 2014 by Peter Kalbermatten and his son Adrian as the direct-investment arm of the family's wealth. It operates a lean structure split between a Swiss base in Zug — the country's crypto-valley — and an opportunistic office in Dallas, Texas. The firm does not market itself publicly and has kept a characteristically low Swiss profile, a posture common among Zug-based family offices managing proprietary capital. Deployment concentrates on two distinct sleeves: venture capital and Swiss real estate. The venture sleeve targets seed-to-Series A technology companies, with a pronounced emphasis on fintech and enterprise software. Confirmed direct investments include a position in the Swiss digital banking ecosystem and an allocation to an AI-driven analytics platform. The real estate arm is made up of direct Swiss residential and commercial holdings, providing a steady-yielding counterweight to venture illiquidity. The transatlantic structure suggests deal-sourcing occurs via both Zurich-adjacent networks and Dallas-based family relationships. Scale remains opaque — the firm does not disclose assets under management or total deployment. The dual-city presence points to a family with binational operating ties, though the wealth origin has not been disclosed publicly. The partnership between Peter and Adrian Kalbermatten indicates a second-generation transition already underway, a governance feature that distinguishes it from single-principal offices still dealing with primogeniture questions. Structurally, AMYP is less a fund manager and more a permanent holding company for family assets. It does not solicit third-party capital and evaluates opportunities with multi-cycle patience. The defining architectural feature is the blending of venture upside and real asset stability without a fund-of-funds layer — every commitment is sourced, underwritten, and held directly. In a market flooded with multi-family offices and capital aggregators, that pure proprietary stance remains rare.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at AMYP Ventures?
Peter Kalbermatten, the founder, serves as the managing partner alongside his son, Adrian Kalbermatten. The dual-principal structure places day-to-day investment authority within the family. No external investment committee is disclosed, which is typical for a single-family office deploying proprietary capital without outside investors.
Is AMYP Ventures structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
It is a single-family office, not a venture firm raising third-party capital. While it makes direct venture investments that resemble a micro-VC in activity, the entity does not manage outside limited partners. Its Swiss real estate holdings further confirm the family-office structure — few venture firms maintain a parallel real asset balance sheet.
Does AMYP Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Publicly available information suggests a strong preference for direct deals across both its venture and real estate sleeves. The firm does not promote fund-of-funds activity, and its lean team size points toward principal-driven underwriting rather than GP-relationship investing. A small number of fund commitments cannot be ruled out given the opaque nature of the office, but no public evidence points to a dedicated LP program.
What investment stages does AMYP Ventures typically target?
The venture strategy focuses on seed and Series A rounds, consistent with family offices seeking price advantage and meaningful ownership in early-stage tech companies. The Zug location provides proximity to Swiss fintech deal flow, while the Dallas presence likely surfaces US enterprise software and AI opportunities at comparable stages.
How is the firm related to the Swiss crypto ecosystem in Zug?
AMYP Ventures is based in Zug, famously known as Crypto Valley for its concentration of blockchain and digital-asset firms. While the firm has maintained a low profile, confirmed investments in Swiss fintech suggest it participates in the broader innovation economy anchored there. However, no specific cryptocurrency, token, or pure blockchain investment has been publicly attributed to AMYP.
