Tomahawk.VC

Tomahawk.VC is an entrepreneur-led, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019 and based in Pfäffikon in the Swiss canton of Schwyz, though it operates as a remote-first, office-less firm with a global mandate. It invests in fintech, DeFi and broader blockchain companies, as well as enterprise software, backing what it calls 'global-first' startups: ventures that think and act globally from inception, hire the best talent from anywhere and build a remote-inclusive culture from day one. The firm typically invests at the pre-seed, seed and Series A stages, writing cheques of roughly USD 250,000 to 1.5 million per transaction and up to about USD 2 million per company, and it is willing to lead; its inaugural fund was approximately USD 20 million. As of March 2025 it had backed around 36 companies, with its portfolio spanning enterprise applications, its largest sector, and blockchain technology, and producing one unicorn and three acquisitions. Tomahawk.VC was founded by serial entrepreneur and General Partner Cédric Waldburger, who has been building companies since the age of 14, holds an electrical-engineering degree from ETH Zurich and co-founded DFINITY; he is joined by Partner Massimo Schäppi, who brings expertise across fintech, enterprise software, big data, agritech and foodtech, and by Claude Donzé. Notable portfolio companies include DFINITY, the portfolio's unicorn, MENU, Locatee, acquired by Tango in March 2024, Pabio and Pods. By backing globally minded, remote-first founders in fintech, blockchain and enterprise software, Tomahawk.VC invests at the earliest stages across borders.
