Swisscom Ventures’ Post

Great conversations, inspiring pitches, and plenty of new connections - that’s what #MWC was all about for us this year. On stage at #4YFN, our investor Max Vogt shared valuable insights on Corporate Venture Capital: the key to success - both in investing and in life - comes down to two things: the people around you and a long-term vision. The panel on evolving CVC strategies highlighted the changing role of corporate investors, with those looking beyond short-term gains set to make the greatest impact. Swisscom Ventures is in a unique position, combining the agility of independent VC with the strength of Swisscom’s market presence. Beyond the panels, we kept the momentum going at our cocktail party at the yacht club, where over 120 guests joined us for an evening of networking, startup pitches, and great conversations. Seventeen startups took the stage for fast-paced elevator pitches, thanks to Venturelab, while our portfolio companies, MATRIXX Software and Billogram, shared their expertise. A perfect mix of innovation, exchange, and some well-deserved drinks. MWC is always a powerful reminder of how collaboration is shaping the future of tech. Looking forward to continuing the conversations!
