redalpine

Founded in Switzerland in 2006 by software entrepreneur Peter Niederhauser and molecular biologist Michael Sidler, redalpine combines venture investing with scientific and operational expertise. Its current offices are in Zug, Berlin, and London.

redalpine invests across Europe through early-stage and multi-stage strategies, backing companies from pre-seed and Series A through later growth and pre-IPO stages. Its focus is the intersection of software and science, including AI, biotechnology, advanced materials, climate technology, fintech, and digital health.

The firm is especially differentiated by its technical investment team: redalpine says half of its team are scientists and the other half have operator backgrounds. Its portfolio includes companies such as Klarna, Mistral AI, Taxfix, N26, and 9fin, and the firm describes its founder support as strategic and hands-on.
