The Week in Swiss Startups (13-17.11.2023) - Week #47
The third week of Nov '23 features 14 startups and 2 exits. The future of VCs: read the "Data-driven VC Landscape 2023". Three jobs in startups and VCs.
Hi there,
In the past week, 14 startups have secured ~CHF 75M, encompassing equity, loans, and grants. Congrats to Nouscom, a biotech company in the field of immuno-oncology, that raised a CHF 65M Series C round. International investors led the round, including three Italian VCs: Indaco Venture Partners, Panakès Partners, and XGen Venture.
This week, the "Data-driven VC Landscape 2023" report captured my attention. I have been a follower of Dr. Andre Retterath (Partner at Earlybird) since the inception of his newsletter and find it to be a source of valuable insights. If you want to know more about the future of the VC industry, I highly recommend downloading the free report. Kudos to familiar faces and friends who are leading the transition into the future of VCs: Andreas Goeldi (b2venture), Marco Squarci (Specter), Penny Schiffer (Raized.ai), Francesco Corea (Greycroft), and Niccolò Sanarico (Primo Ventures).

[…] And you need to be data-driven because everything is larger, faster, earlier; there are so many funds around and differentiation is hard to show sometimes, and finally because quality is increasing overall, and to win the best deals and allocate your capital wisely you can't simply trust your gut anymore.” Francesco Corea (Director of Data Science, Greycroft)
As the year draws to a close, I intend to delve deeper into data exploration over the coming weeks and share intriguing insights with you.
Stay tuned!
Gian
