EquityPitcher Ventures

EquityPitcher Ventures is a Zurich-based early-growth venture capital firm founded in 2016, supporting promising B2B technology startups in the DACH region spanning Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The firm leads rounds and works closely with a network of industry experts, investors, and exit partners to help entrepreneurs build world-class companies from the heart of the German-speaking European market. The team of 26 includes five partners, led by Founding Partners Sascha Horrig and Hermann Koch. EquityPitcher has made 30 investments with check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $5 million at Seed and Series A stages. The portfolio spans SaaS, software, B2B technology, hardware and robotics, AI and deep tech, and data analytics, with companies based in Switzerland and Germany. The firm conducts network and needs analysis during due diligence to evaluate not just financial attractiveness but the specific value it can add to each company it backs, making it an active participant in portfolio development rather than a passive capital provider. EquityPitcher Ventures distinguishes itself through close cooperation with renowned industry experts across its target sectors, facilitating connections to potential customers, partners, and exit counterparts throughout the investment lifecycle. The firm's strong presence in the DACH ecosystem and its concentrated focus on B2B technology give it credibility and access that broader, geography-agnostic funds often cannot replicate in the specific commercial and regulatory context of Central European enterprise markets.
