Ziano Ventures

Michael Brändli serves as Chief Investment Officer, responsible for day-to-day portfolio management. Roland Brack, the firm's founder and sole capital source, remains the ultimate decision-maker on significant commitments. This structure is typical for entrepreneur-funded investment offices where the founder stays involved in strategic allocation.

Ziano Ventures is the investment company of Roland Brack, the founder of Swiss e-commerce platform Brack.ch. The wealth deployed by Ziano was generated primarily through Brack.ch's commercial success. There is no corporate ownership link between the two entities — Ziano is Brack's personal investment vehicle, not a subsidiary of the e-commerce business.

Functionally, yes. Ziano manages capital for Roland Brack and does not advertise services to external clients. The firm operates without a regulated fund structure and maintains the posture of a proprietary investment company — the legal form most commonly used by Swiss family offices.

Publicly confirmed activity emphasizes direct investments in operating companies and real assets. Its SECA membership connects it to the Swiss fund ecosystem, suggesting awareness of fund structures, but no fund-of-funds program or LP commitment track is publicly documented. The known portfolio — Sygnum Bank, Relai, ImmoZins — consists entirely of direct holdings.

The firm pursues a generalist mandate across venture capital, digital assets, specialty mobility, and Swiss real estate. Technology investments concentrate on financial infrastructure and crypto-native applications. The mobility interest — solar motorcycles, off-road rally cars — reflects Brack's personal enthusiasm rather than an institutional thesis. No stated sector exclusions are publicly available.
