Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Max Meister and Guy Giuffredi discuss the summer’s standout deals — including the USD 225 million exit of Daedalean to Destinus, the USD 8.9 million investment in CREAL led by Zeiss, and Modulos’ CHF 8.7 million funding round.

In the news, they cover the current state of the Swiss VC ecosystem in a global context, the concentration of capital among a handful of U.S. VC funds, and plans for a USD 250 million chip fabrication facility in Switzerland.

For the main topic, Peter Stähli joins for the second installment of a four-part series on the Upscaler Program. And finally, they answer a listener question on how to prepare effectively for investor meetings.
