Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at session.vc?
The three co-founders — Martin Altorfer, Philippe Bubb, and Jeremias Meier — jointly run investment decisions. Each brings founder-operator experience with multiple exits, and the firm operates as a tight partnership with no separate investment committee disclosed.
How does session.vc source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's sourcing relies on the networks built by its principals over decades founding and exiting Swiss tech companies, notably the Bexio and Active-Net/Celeris ecosystems. Their operator reputation within the DACH-region SaaS community provides inbound deal flow that a purely financial investor might not access.
Is session.vc structured as a family office or a venture firm?
session.vc is structured as an asset manager operating a private equity vehicle backed by the partners' own capital. While it shares some features with a single-family office — concentrated, own-capital, long-horizon — its outward-facing brand and willingness to serve as interim operators place it closer to a micro private equity firm with a venture operating model.
Does session.vc participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm focuses on direct investments in tech-enabled growth companies. It is not structured as a fund-of-funds and makes no mention of participating in third-party fund commitments, prioritizing a concentrated, hands-on portfolio.
What investment stages does session.vc typically target?
session.vc invests in tech-enabled growth companies that have demonstrated product-market fit. The firm explicitly states it targets businesses that are not reliant on continuous fundraising, indicating a focus on later early-stage through growth-stage where revenue models are already proven.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The co-founders' capital stems from their own entrepreneurial exits. Martin Altorfer sold Active-Net to UUNET and Celeris to Swisscom. Jeremias Meier co-founded Bexio and led it to a sale to Mobiliar in 2018. The firm aggregates this personal founder liquidity rather than managing a third-party LP base.
Does session.vc maintain philanthropic structures or external clubs?
There is no public disclosure of a separate philanthropic foundation, donor-advised fund, or membership in external peer clubs such as Tiger 21, R360, or YPO tied to the session.vc entity.
