Frequently asked questions
Where is Kainjoo headquartered, and in which geographies does it invest?
Kainjoo is headquartered in Gland, Switzerland, in the Canton of Vaud. The firm invests primarily across Switzerland and the DACH region — Germany, Austria, and German-speaking Switzerland — with select exposure to opportunities across Western Europe. Gland's position between Geneva and Lausanne places the firm within a dense network of technical universities, research institutes, and industrial exporters that generate proprietary deal flow.
What investment stages does Kainjoo target?
Kainjoo targets early-stage start-ups and growth-stage companies. This dual-stage approach allows the firm to participate in initial funding rounds — often as a lead or co-lead — and to follow capital into later rounds where the company has validated its model and requires expansion capital. The firm does not appear to engage in buyout transactions or public-market investing.
