He holds an MBA from INSEAD and was previously a partner at Sofinnova Partners, 360 Capital and Samsung Catalyst Fund before joining Walden Catalyst in 2021.During his chat with Merle, Nicolas explained why he thinks the Swiss ecosystem should not try to replicate the Silicon Valley phenomenon. According to Nicolas, Silicon Valley is a unique ecosystem that's been around for 60 years, which resulted from a unique recipe for collaboration between academia, investors, entrepreneurs and large corporates. It took decades to mature, first through government funding and then later largely through private funding. The success of Silicon Valley ought to inspire us, says Nicolas, and of course best practices can be derived from it, but we should not try to replicate the exact same phenomenon in Switzerland — a very different country with its unique set of circumstances. Switzerland benefits from excellent universities and is quite strong in terms of deep tech, but it is still maturing as an ecosystem, as are other European startup hubs. Our culture of high performance and high precision differentiates us from the Americans and their “break things” mentality, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Each mindset has its own individual perks.Nowadays, Nicolas is excited about Swiss companies like Scandit, ANYbotics, Ecorobotix and SOPHiA GENETICS. He thinks one major key to accelerating the maturation of the Swiss startup ecosystem (and other European ecosystems) is to allow for more late stage funding.The cover portrait was edited by www.smartportrait.io.Don't forget to give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Otto Birnbaum, General Partner von Revent. Otto bespricht die Finanzierungsrunde von Upvest, Carbon Equity, Bon Vivant und die Fusion von General Catalyst und La Famiglia.Der deutsche Frühphasenfonds La Famiglia, bekannt für Investitionen in Unternehmen wie Personio und Deel, schließt sich mit dem US-amerikanischen Risikokapitalgeber General Catalyst zusammen, der auch in Airbnb investiert hat. Diese seltene Fusion in der VC-Welt zeigt das verstärkte Engagement eines der größten und aktivsten US-Investoren in Europa, da die Bedeutung des Technologie-Ökosystems der Region global zunimmt. Jeannette zu Fürstenberg, Gründungspartnerin von La Famiglia, wird Managing Director bei GC und übernimmt eine ähnliche Position wie ein General Partner, um ein globales Seed-Investmentprogramm aufzubauen. Das Berliner FinTech Upvest hat eine Partnerschaft mit dem US-Vermögensverwalter Blackrock bekanntgegeben, um zukünftig mit institutionellen Kunden von Blackrock zusammenzuarbeiten. Gleichzeitig hat Upvest in einer Finanzierungsrunde 30 Millionen Euro eingenommen und seine Bewertung auf einen "mittleren dreistelligen Millionenbetrag" erhöht. Diese Partnerschaft ermöglicht Upvest, die Infrastruktur für andere FinTechs bereitzustellen, die ihren Kunden Investitionen in Kryptowährungen, Aktien oder ETFs anbieten möchten. Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Blackrock hofft Upvest, die Distanz zwischen FinTechs und Banken zu verringern und das Vertrauen zu stärken, während sie weiterhin ihren Fokus auf die Europäische Union richten und langfristig die Gewinnzone anstreben.Carbon Equity mit Sitz in Amsterdam, hat erfolgreich 6 Millionen Euro in ihrer Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde aufgebracht. Diese wurde von BlackFin Capital Partners angeführt und erhielt Beteiligung von 4Impact, einem bestehenden Investor. Die Plattform bietet individuellen Anlegern die Möglichkeit, wegweisende Klima-Technologieunternehmen zu unterstützen, indem sie niedrige Mindestzugangsgebühren für erstklassige Climate-Venture-Capital- und Private-Equity-Fonds anbietet. Die frischen Mittel sollen die europäische Expansion vorantreiben, Vertriebskanäle verbessern und den Weg für ihren ersten ELTIF-Fonds ebnen, der bereits ab 25.000 Euro zugänglich sein wird.Das französische Startup Bon Vivant, das sich auf die Herstellung authentischer Milch ohne Kühe mittels Bioreaktoren spezialisiert hat, hat in einer Seed-Finanzierungsrunde 15 Millionen Euro eingesammelt. Durch den Einsatz spezieller Hefekulturen produziert das in Lyon ansässige Unternehmen ähnliche Proteine wie in herkömmlicher Kuhmilch. Diese tierfreien Milchproteine sollen einen deutlich geringeren ökologischen Fußabdruck aufweisen. Die Finanzierungsrunde wurde von Sofinnova Partners und Sparkfood geleitet, unterstützt von Captech Santé und anderen Investoren. Das Unternehmen zielt darauf ab, seine Milchproteine bereits ab 2025 auf dem US-Markt zu vermarkten.

Joško Bobanović is a Partner, Industrial Biotechnology funds at Sofinnova Partners, a leading European venture capital firm in the life sciences. The focus of this group is finding companies that are applying the mature tools that were initially developed for healthcare into industrial disciplines, specifically, applications in food, chemicals, agriculture, and materials. Joško explains, "In the 20 years from then to now, we have shaved multiple zeros from the cost of sequencing. That's equally true for other areas of biotechnology. That shift has allowed us to open up the application from what we tend to call red biotech, red coming from the blood, in terms of healthcare, to other angles of biotech." "They often come in color-coded. You have the white biotech, green biotech, and blue biotech. The white one is industrial applications or products that are produced in the chemical industry. Then you have the green biotech, which focuses on and deals with plants. Then you have the blue biotech, which is oriented towards the ocean and typically focuses on algae and similar things. That's kind of how we look at biotech opportunities beyond just healthcare." @SofinnovaVC #SofinnovaPartners #IndustrialBiotechnology #IndustrialBiotech #DNAScript #Sustainability #Environmentalimpact sofinnovapartners.com Download the transcript here
