Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Innovationsstiftung der Schwyzer Kantonalbank?
The foundation board, currently led by President Susanne Thellung, holds investment authority. The board draws members from the Schwyzer Kantonalbank's senior management and external technology specialists, combining banking governance with sector-specific expertise. Day-to-day investment analysis and portfolio management are executed by the foundation's dedicated staff operating within the bank's infrastructure in Schwyz.
What investment stages does the foundation target?
Seed and early-stage start-ups are the explicit mandate, confirmed through public-record portfolio composition. The foundation writes first-institutional cheques and participates in follow-on rounds alongside other Swiss and European early-stage investors. It does not operate a fund-of-funds model or participate in late-stage growth equity or buyouts.
Does the foundation accept external capital or limited partners?
No. The endowment was capitalized by the Schwyzer Kantonalbank and operates as a single-LP foundation structure. It does not raise funds from external institutional investors, family offices, or retail clients. All returns are retained and recycled into new Swiss venture investments.
