OUR JOURNEY

FOUNDED IN SWITZERLAND, 2013

From modest beginnings as a family office investing in FinTech and eCommerce, we've matured over the past decade into a trusted advisor for growing financial firms across EMEA. Our expertise lies in Human Capital, digital transformation, sustainable impact, and formulating the next generation of businesses. 

A commitment to giving back and believing in the power of sharing have fueled our journey. We understand that our greatest asset is our people, and we've cultivated a philosophy that thrives on excellence, embraces failure, and encourages bold, agile decision-making.

OUR MISSION

Always be sharing and never stop changing

In an evolving landscape of industry transformation and technological disruption, our mission is clear: to be the nexus of business and impact collaboration. We are dedicated to facilitating the exchange of ideas and resources, emphasizing the power of a shared economy. By building robust networks and championing impact investments, we aim to drive business growth and social impact in tandem, ensuring that collaboration translates to tangible benefits for all stakeholders.
