Across these 50 Swiss financial-services entries, one disclosed round stands far above the rest: Alpian raised $84M on 2024-05-08, while the next-highest disclosed rounds include SEBA Bank at $120M (2022-01-12), Taurus at $65M (2023-02-13), and Portofino Technologies at $50M (2022-09-15). In the most recent window, several deals cluster in the same city hubs: Zürich appears repeatedly (e.g., Obligate on 2025-10-31 at $3M; Relai on 2024-12-10 at $12M; ETFbook on 2025-02-11 at $4M), alongside Zug as another frequent base (e.g., Ariadne on 2025-08-28 at $350K; Relai’s broader hub context; several Zug rounds like Lyfegen is Basel, but many others are Zug-based). Stage disclosure is uneven: 15 of 50 rows are “undisclosed,” and 14 of 50 are labeled “Series Unknown,” with the remaining labeled rounds showing multiple seed and Series A events. Temporally, the list spans from 2021-11-08 (Emilian, pre-seed, undisclosed) to 2025-10-31 (Obligate, venture—Series Unknown, $3M).

Frequently asked
How large are the disclosed rounds compared with the rest of the list, and what’s the main outlier to check first?
The largest disclosed amount is SEBA Bank’s $120M on 2022-01-12; it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Taurus at $65M (2023-02-13) and Alpian at $84M (2024-05-08) and Portofino Technologies at $50M (2022-09-15). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount shown is $350K for Ariadne on 2025-08-28, which is close to other sub-$1M rounds like Insurteam’s $770K on 2025-01-15.
Do any cities or locations show over-representation in this Switzerland financial-services set?
Zürich is repeatedly listed across multiple rounds and time points (e.g., Obligate in Zürich on 2025-10-31 at $3M; ETFbook on 2025-02-11 at $4M; Relai on 2024-12-10 at $12M), suggesting a sustained hub presence. Zug is also frequent (Ariadne on 2025-08-28 at $350K; Neuronomics on 2024-12-10 as “undisclosed”; Upbots on 2024-06-11 at $4M; GenTwo on 2023-09-05 at $15M), forming another recurring cluster beyond single-deal appearances.
Which parts of the timeline concentrate most of the activity, based on the most recent edge and nearby months/quarters?
Activity is densest across 2024 and 2025, where multiple seed/Series A rounds appear in close succession, including 2025-01-15 Insurteam ($770K), 2025-02-11 ETFbook ($4M), 2025-02-26 AMNIS Treasury Services ($10M), and 2025-03-15 Youngtimers ($3M). The list’s temporal edge runs from 2021-11-08 (Emilian, pre-seed, undisclosed) to 2025-10-31 (Obligate, venture—Series Unknown, $3M), with few entries earlier than 2022-01-12 (SEBA Bank, $120M).
How much of the dataset is missing disclosure on stage, and how does that affect interpretability for outreach or diligence?
Stage naming is frequently non-specific: 14 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 15 of 50 are “undisclosed” amounts, meaning both stage and/or amount clarity is absent for a substantial share. Examples include Neuronomics (Zug, 2024-12-10, “undisclosed”) and Copyright Capital (Genève, 2024-05-02, pre-seed, “undisclosed”), alongside multiple “Series Unknown” rounds like Obligate (2025-10-31) and Youngtimers (2025-03-15), both reported with disclosed amounts.
Are there stage clusters (seed vs Series A/B/C vs debt/pre-seed) that dominate this segment’s disclosed rounds?
Labeled early-stage rounds show up repeatedly in both geography and amount range: Seed examples include Ariadne ($350K, 2025-08-28), Poncho ($620K, 2024-11-25), and Calingo ($4M, 2024-08-07). Meanwhile, later-stage outliers concentrate at high disclosed amounts, including SEBA Bank’s Series C ($120M, 2022-01-12) and Alpian’s Series C ($84M, 2024-05-08), which sit well above most disclosed seed/angel figures such as Autentica pre-seed ($1M, 2022-06-01).
Which entries look like they should be prioritized because they combine unusually large disclosed amounts with clearer stage labels?
Several high-amount rounds are both large and stage-labeled, making them stand out for follow-up: SEBA Bank’s Series C $120M (2022-01-12), Alpian’s Series C $84M (2024-05-08), Taurus’s Series B $65M (2023-02-13), and Ledgy’s Series B $22M (2022-09-21). These contrasts are notable because many other disclosed rounds in the list fall closer to the $1M–$10M band, such as ETFbook $4M (2025-02-11) and Rivero $7M (2024-01-11).
