Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Spicehaus Partners?
Firm co-founders Dr. Teddy Amberg and Daniel Andres make all investment decisions. Both have backgrounds that blend institutional private equity — Andres at Partners Group, Amberg at BNP Paribas — with direct startup operating experience. They are supported by a four-person investment team and a seven-member advisory board (per the firm's website).
What is the geographic focus of Spicehaus's venture funds?
Spicehaus invests almost entirely in Switzerland. The firm markets itself as a Swiss venture capital investor, and all portfolio companies listed on its website are Swiss-domiciled. The strategy is built on the belief that Switzerland produces high-quality B2B technology companies that are under-served by pan-European generalist funds.
Does Spicehaus participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Spicehaus makes direct equity investments in early-stage to growth-stage companies. It does not operate as a fund-of-funds. The firm launched its first institutional fund in 2019 and fund II in 2024; both are direct investment vehicles targeting Swiss B2B technology.
What investment stages does Spicehaus typically target?
Spicehaus invests from seed to growth, with a portfolio that spans earliest commercial stage through to participation in larger rounds such as KEMARO AG's Series B. The firm's website lists investments from 2020 through 2025, indicating a multi-year commitment pattern rather than point-in-time seed-only exposure.
Which sectors does Spicehaus explicitly avoid?
Spicehaus does not invest in consumer-focused or B2C companies. Its portfolio is entirely B2B technology. Sectors such as consumer internet, hardware, and life sciences are absent from its sector tags, which are confined to enterprise and industrial technology verticals including fintech, cybersecurity, AI/ML, robotics and insurtech.
How does Spicehaus source proprietary deal flow?
Spicehaus draws on a proprietary network built over more than a decade of the founders' angel investing in Switzerland, plus the Gründerball event it created in 2019 to convene successful Swiss founders. The firm views its deep embeddedness in the local ecosystem as its primary sourcing advantage over non-Swiss funds.
Is Spicehaus structured as a family office or a venture firm?
Spicehaus Partners AG is an independent, partner-owned asset manager — not a family office. It is fully owned by founding partners Dr. Teddy Amberg and Daniel Andres. The firm raises capital from external institutional and private investors for its venture funds, rather than managing a single-family balance sheet.
