Description

SICTIC, the Swiss ICT Investor Club, operates as a prominent angel network and syndicate based in Zürich, Switzerland. Its core mission is to bridge the gap between promising Swiss seed and early-stage technology startups and a robust network of "smart money" investors. Functioning as an independent association, SICTIC brings together over 300 business angels and venture capitalists, fostering a collaborative environment for capital deployment and strategic guidance within the Swiss innovation ecosystem.

The organization primarily targets Swiss startups operating within the ICT, high-tech, and FinTech sectors. SICTIC's investment model involves syndicating capital from its diverse investor base, allowing individual angels to participate in larger funding rounds than they might typically undertake alone. This approach enables startups to secure more substantial seed and early-stage capital. The typical investment volume facilitated by SICTIC ranges between CHF 100,000 and CHF 1,000,000 per startup, translating to approximately $112,000 to $1,120,000 USD, based on recent exchange rates.

Since its inception in 2014, SICTIC has demonstrated significant activity and impact within the Swiss startup landscape. The club has successfully facilitated over 200 investments, channeling crucial funding into a wide array of innovative companies. This consistent track record underscores SICTIC's vital role in nurturing the growth of Switzerland's tech sector by providing not only financial capital but also valuable expertise and network access from its experienced investor members.
