Tomahawk.vc

Brothers Alex and Mischa Cajic founded Tomahawk.vc in 2021, headquartered in Pfaffikon, Switzerland. Before formalizing the firm, the founders were active angel investors and operators in the Zurich technology scene, building a network concentrated in the DACH region's technical universities and startup incubators. The firm represents a new generation of European venture managers moving beyond the traditional fund-of-funds model to direct early-stage deployment. Tomahawk.vc targets pre-seed and seed rounds, typically writing initial checks into enterprise software, AI/ML, fintech, and industrial technology companies. The firm focuses on technical founders emerging from the ETH Zurich ecosystem, the broader DACH region, and select opportunities across Western Europe. Known portfolio positions include Ledgy, the Zurich-based equity management platform, and Unique, the Swiss AI startup focused on financial services automation. The firm operates via traditional venture fund structures and has shown willingness to lead rounds when institutional co-investors are absent. The Cajics run a lean operation from Pfaffikon, maintaining proximity to both Zurich's technical talent pool and the Swiss limited-partner base. The firm has not publicly disclosed total assets under management or headcount. In early 2025, the firm participated in a seed extension round for a Swiss industrial robotics company (per public record), reinforcing the pattern of concentrated bets on early-stage deep technology in their home market. Tomahawk.vc's structural difference lies in its intentional geographic concentration. While most European seed funds diversify across London, Berlin, and Paris by default, the firm's thesis rests on the conviction that Switzerland's technical density — particularly the applied research pipeline out of ETH Zurich and EPFL — produces venture returns that are systematically overlooked by larger, multi-jurisdiction funds.
