I’m Edo, Partner at Founderful.
Every month I send a newsletter on Zurich tech to 1,900 builders: who raised, who's setting up here, who shipped something good, which events are worth showing up to. I'm close to the founders behind those stories, so the news comes with context, and the events are pre-vetted. But the bigger goal is to get builders in this city talking to each other, as I firmly believe that's how more startups get started here, and that's good for Switzerland. So a few friends and I are scaling up regular sports and social activities as a way to meet other builders. They're all in this newsletter, and you're welcome to join any of them.

First, what's worth knowing about Zurich this month.
Things that caught my attention, not all of them news. Some is just context I'd want if I were building here. Subscribe and you'll get this every month, without having to follow twenty Zurich accounts.
Second, where to find the builders in the coming weeks.
Two kinds. First, pre-vetted events worth your time. Most are run by people I trust, a few are the quarterly flagships I organize with Gian and Yves.
Then the sports and social ones, recurring and smaller, and the easiest way to actually meet builders here. Hosted by [Daniel](https://app.notion.com/p/etreccani/...), [Fra](https://app.notion.com/p/etreccani/...), [Simon](https://app.notion.com/p/etreccani/...), and [Rak](https://app.notion.com/p/etreccani/...), with more joining soon. Subscribe and the full list lands in your inbox once a month, before the good ones fill up.
Third, me as your first-check investor.
Now, to my real job. I'm a Partner at the pre-seed firm Founderful and I back two or three companies a year. Day zero: pre-traction, pre-incorporation, often before there's a deck. Below is a sample, plus a short FAQ.
If it's early on something technically hard, even just an idea, I'd like to think it through with you. Send a connection request with a note, no warm intro required.
