Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at SICTIC?
SICTIC operates as a matchmaking platform, not a discretionary fund, so individual angel investors make their own investment decisions. The club's co-founders, Dr. Thomas Dübendorfer (President) and Ralph Mogicato (Vice President), oversee the platform's operations and event quality. No central investment committee selects deals for a pooled mandate.
How does SICTIC source proprietary deal flow?
Deal flow is sourced through open startup applications and referrals from regional ecosystem partners including universities, tech hubs, and co-investing venture firms like Swisscom Ventures. The club's pitching events serve as a high-volume screening mechanism. Selected startups present live to the angel network, which votes on interest via a standardized process.
Does SICTIC participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
SICTIC facilitates direct equity investments into individual startups by its angel members. The platform itself does not operate a fund-of-funds or make commitments to external venture capital vehicles. The emphasis is exclusively on direct angel-stage transactions.
Which sectors does SICTIC explicitly avoid?
SICTIC maintains an explicit ICT-only mandate, meaning it does not fund pure life sciences, hard biotech, or heavy industrial manufacturing unless the company has a distinct software or digital technology core. Real estate, natural resources, and pure consumer goods are outside its scope.
How is SICTIC related to Swisscom Ventures or Creathor Ventures?
Swisscom Ventures and Creathor Ventures are co-investment partners, not subsidiaries or affiliates. They attend SICTIC events, review sourced deals, and often join syndicates alongside angel members. No formal exclusive agreement exists, but they are cited as preferred co-investors in the SICTIC network.
