Episode #83 – EPFL Rekord | Startup-Agenda | Thrive | Aare Ventures | SPV-SpaceX | Algorized | Optiml | Axmed | Porters

from Burn Rate - Der Venture Insider Podcast · host Max Meister

In dieser Episode von Burn Rate – dem VC Insider Podcast sprechen Max Meister und Guy Giuffredi über die wichtigsten Entwicklungen im Schweizer und internationalen Venture-Capital-Markt. Im News-Block analysieren sie das Rekordjahr der EPFL mit 39 neuen Spin-offs und CHF 701 Mio. Funding, diskutieren die neue Startup-Agenda der Swiss Startup Association mit 20 politischen Reformvorschlägen sowie den neuen 10-Milliarden-Dollar-Mega-Fonds von Thrive Capital rund um Josh Kushner. Dabei geht es um strukturelle Fragen: Ist die Schweiz besser im Gründen als im Skalieren? Wer finanziert die Series-B-Lücke? Und verschiebt sich Venture Capital immer stärker in Richtung Mega-Funds mit konzentrierten Winner-Portfolios? Im Schwerpunktthema begrüssen wir Jürg Schwarzenbach, Mitgründer und Präsident von Aare Ventures. Wir sprechen über Angel-Investing, Dealflow-Selektion, Erfolgsfaktoren im Frühphasen-Investment und warum Business-Angel-Clubs heute teilweise mehr Pre-Seed-Kapital mobilisieren als kleine Fonds. In der Hörerfrage geht es um SPV-Strukturen und ein mögliches Pre-IPO-Investment in SpaceX. Wir diskutieren Pricing-Risiken, mehrstufige Fee-Layer, Liquidationspräferenzen und die zentrale Frage: Venture-Investment oder illiquider Pre-IPO-Trade? Abgerundet wird die Episode mit vier Transaktionen der Woche: Algorized (Physical AI, Series A) Optiml (Real Estate AI, Seed) Axmed (Impact Health Platform, Grant) Porters (AI-native Banking Ops, Pre-Seed) Eine Episode über Deep-Tech-Pipeline, politische Rahmenbedingungen, Mega-Funds, Angel-Netzwerke und die Mechanik von SPV-Investments.
