I’m Edo, Partner at Founderful.
Every month I send a newsletter on Zurich tech to 2,300 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.
This month's news, and other things I found interesting, filtered down to what I'm allowed to share (no stealth stuff, no gossip).
Second, where to find other builders this month.
Upcoming events for builders in the city. Not a full calendar, just the ones I'd go to myself. A couple are the quarterly flagships run with Gian and Yves.
Upcoming group activities for builders in the city. Smaller and recurring, so you meet other founders, operators and researchers doing something active rather than watching a talk.
Third, first checks at Founderful.
Now, the day job. I'm a Partner at the Zurich-based pre-seed firm Founderful and back two or three companies a year. Day zero: pre-traction, pre-incorporation, often before there's a deck. Below: a sample of my investments and a short FAQ. If you're early on something technically hard, even just an idea, I'm happy to think it through with you.
