3wVentures

3wVentures is a Swiss investment company established in 2018 and headquartered in Herisau, Switzerland. The firm positions itself as a provider of seed- and early-stage venture capital to international businesses. While sector-agnostic in its stated approach, 3wVentures expresses a particular interest in companies with strong technological foundations, focusing on areas such as deep tech, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and sustainable technologies. Their investment thesis centers on identifying ventures with a clear path to achieving market leadership.

The firm typically deploys initial investments ranging from CHF 250,000 to CHF 2,000,000. This translates to approximately $280,000 to $2,240,000 USD, positioning them as a significant early-stage capital provider capable of supporting nascent companies through critical development phases. Their investment philosophy underscores a commitment to fostering innovation and scalable business models, aiming to back companies that can demonstrate both technological prowess and commercial viability.

Despite its broad stated investment focus, 3wVentures' publicly disclosed portfolio, as seen on its website and Crunchbase, appears highly concentrated. The primary investments listed are related to "Block-Builders," a series of content platforms specializing in blockchain and cryptocurrency news across various European domains. This highly specific portfolio suggests either a very specialized investment strategy or that the firm is in the early stages of diversifying its venture capital deployments. Dr. Andreas Glarner serves as the Managing Partner, leading the firm's investment activities.
