Frequently asked questions
How does EquityPitcher source deals?
EquityPitcher draws on its board and industry network in the Swiss startup landscape to identify B2B technology founders. The firm evaluates potential investments through a needs-and-network analysis during due diligence, measuring what commercial introductions it can offer before committing capital. Founders submit pitch decks directly through the website, and the firm's active presence in Zurich's startup community generates additional proprietary flow.
What is EquityPitcher's investment strategy?
EquityPitcher invests directly in B2B tech startups across enterprise software, renewable energy, manufacturing technology and digital health. Its model spans seed, early-stage and growth rounds. The firm's stated advantage is an industry network that can generate sales for portfolio companies — it effectively acts as an early commercial partner, accelerating go-to-market for founders who lack established corporate relationships.
Does EquityPitcher participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Based on its public positioning, EquityPitcher makes direct equity investments in startups. The firm describes itself as an active venture capital firm that carries out due diligence on individual companies, not as a fund-of-funds or LP committing to other managers. There is no public evidence of fund-of-funds activity or third-party GP commitments.
