OUR JOURNEY
MADE IN SWITZERLAND
1648 was established in Switzerland in 2013, initially focusing on private equity and venture capital investments. Early on, we recognized that being deeply embedded within our portfolio companies provided us with a decisive information advantage. This unique perspective allowed us to identify opportunities and address challenges from within, leading us to develop our 'beyond consulting' approach. Through this model, our clients receive insourced expertise tailored to their specific needs while benefiting from the cost efficiencies associated with outsourcing.
​
At the heart of 1648 is a team of seasoned financial experts who have worked together for 20 years, all hailing from top-tier financial institutions. Our collective expertise and deep industry knowledge enable us to provide unparalleled advice and insight.
Today, 1648 is dedicated to helping financial institutions transform and future-proof their operations. Our focus spans three main activities: guiding firms through the next generation of business strategies, leveraging digital technologies to enhance efficiency and drive growth, and fostering sustainable practices and investments that generate long-term impact.
​
Our 'beyond consulting' approach turns vision into reality, innovation into processes, and investments into impactful outcomes.
VISION
"Constant change, endless possibilities."
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.
