DeepTech Ventures

DeepTech Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Pfaffikon, Switzerland, founded in 2018. The firm is an investment pioneer in the Web3 space, backing protocols, networks, and infrastructure projects across the full decentralized technology stack. Led by founder Alexander Christen — CEO of FiveT Fintech and formerly of Partners Group and SIX Swiss Exchange — alongside Managing Partner Daniel Curiger (ex-Goldman Sachs and UBS) and Crypto Research Analyst Florian Bitterli, the seven-person team brings deep roots in software development, finance, and economics. With 59 investments to date and typical check sizes between $100,000 and $1 million, DeepTech Ventures participates across blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, and DAO governance. The portfolio spans Layer 0/1 networks including Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Solana, and Avalanche; DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, Convex Finance, Curve, and Yearn Finance; NFT platforms including Decentraland and SuperRare; and infrastructure projects such as Lido, TheGraph, Arweave, and Filecoin. The firm takes an unusually active role in its investments beyond capital, engaging in governance voting, liquidity provision, keeper operations, and node operation within portfolio ecosystems. Investment instruments span equity, tokens, SAFEs, and SAFTs, giving the team flexibility to enter at the structure that best fits each project. The result is a fund deeply embedded in the ecosystems it backs rather than a passive observer.
