The largest disclosed pre-seed round is Lyceum’s $12M (2025-06-24), which sits well above the rest of the disclosed amounts: the next-largest rounds are in the $5M range (Aylight $5M on 2026-07-06, Stellar Alpina $5M on 2026-05-28, and Forgis $5M on 2025-11-16). At the lower end, the smallest disclosed amount is $30K (intonate on 2024-10-18), indicating a wide spread in disclosed check sizes.
The geography is Zurich-heavy (27 appearances across the shown rows), with Lausanne (5) and Basel (3) much smaller hubs, and the city names repeatedly concentrate across the 2024-02-13 to 2026-07-16 window. Timing also clusters: multiple high-$M rounds land in mid-2025 through mid-2026, including RTDT Laboratories $4M (2025-07-01) and Tethys Robotics $4M (2025-11-02), while several entries remain undisclosed (8 of 50).

Frequently asked
Are there any clear city concentrations among the most recent pre-seed rounds?
Zürich dominates the dataset with 27 appearances, versus Lausanne’s 5 and Basel’s 3. That hub effect shows up repeatedly across the timeline, including Zürich-based rounds like Aylight ($5M on 2026-07-06) and miros ($1M on 2026-03-30).
Do any sectors show up repeatedly enough to suggest a cluster within Swiss pre-seed?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears across multiple entries, including Aylight ($5M, 2026-07-06), AVIAN ($3M, 2026-05-20), miros ($1M, 2026-03-30), and Lyceum ($12M, 2025-06-24). Hardware also recurs (e.g., Subatron $190K on 2026-06-29 and Mosaic-SoC $4M on 2026-04-30), indicating sectoral repetition beyond single entries.
Are there notable outliers—either by unusually large checks or unusually small disclosed rounds?
Yes. The largest disclosed round is Lyceum’s $12M (2025-06-24), while the smallest disclosed amount is $30K (intonate on 2024-10-18). Between these, several rounds cluster in the $1M–$4M band (e.g., Tethys Robotics $4M on 2025-11-02 and miros $1M on 2026-03-30), making the $12M and $30K ends stand out.
