Episode #59 [AI-Translated] - Bankruptcies | u-blox | US-VC in EU | Voicebot Heal Capital | Voting Share | Deals

In this episode, Max Meister and Guy Giuffredi discuss a negative record: the number of Swiss startup liquidations in the first half of 2025. They then turn to the upcoming billion-franc exit of Ublox and the return of U.S. VCs to the European market. In the listener question, they address whether voting-rights shares make sense for founders in Switzerland. For the deep dive, guest Lucas Mittelmeier, VC at Heal Capital, joins to talk about the firm’s use of a voice bot as the first point of contact for startups applying for funding. Finally, they wrap up with a quick recap of all transactions announced in the Swiss startup ecosystem since the last editorial cut-off.
