I’m Edouard, Partner at Founderful.

I write first checks into Swiss deep-tech startups. Whether you're already a founder or about to become one, I'm glad to be your sparring partner and pressure-test your ideas. If we click, I’ll offer to lead your pre-seed round. Send me a connection request with a note.

• Working with me and Founderful

Once a month, I send an update on Zurich tech to 3,100 builders: who raised, who's opening an office here, who hit a milestone, which events are worth showing up to. I know most of the founders behind those stories, so you'll often hear it here early, always with their blessing.

I also host curated AI and robotics events with 200+ builders, and group activities: runs, padel, Catan, poker and hikes. They're in the newsletter. Subscribe below and double opt-in. You can also follow me on LinkedIn and X, where I've just started posting.

About me

I grew up in Vevey, a small town on the shores of Lake Geneva. I've built my VC journey on making the intro nobody asked for and backing founders before anyone else would. That's what made me a central node in Swiss tech, with links reaching deep into the US and beyond.

Happy to chat in French or English (please don't test my broken German). Outside work: tennis, chess and pushing chips at my own poker game.

Thanks for visiting.
