DART Labs

What is DART Labs?

DART Labs is an investment fund that targets early-stage Swiss and European startups working on breakthrough technologies with the potential for a positive long-term impact on health and climate. They focus on empowering founders to thrive in the US market, providing a 12-month tailored program that supports strategy, culture, fundraising, and US expansion.

They are particularly interested in interdisciplinary and diverse teams that are internationally minded and aim to challenge the status quo.

DART Labs specializes in investments in various industries including AgroTech, Hardware & Manufacturing, Energy, CleanTech, A.I. & Big Data, HealthTech & Fitness, Impact, DeepTech, Healthcare & Wellness, Mobility, Nanotechnology, Consumer, and Woman Focused ventures. Their investment range is typically between $100,000 and $500,000, with a sweet spot of around $150,000.

They prefer working with startups that are European, have a commitment to positive impact, ethics, diversity, and inclusion, and position themselves against companies with no discernible long-term positive impact, those lacking an ethical focus, or non-European startups. DART Labs takes pride in its mission-driven approach, investing in solutions that fundamentally improve health and climate conditions.

They are keen on startups that converge consumer tech with health tech, introducing innovative, AI-powered tools that extend continuous, personalized patient care outside the clinical setting.

Moreover, they support deep-tech scientific solutions that promote decarbonization, enable energy transitions, and reduce global footprints. Their portfolio boasts 15 startups, with a 50% diversity factor and at least one successful exit, indicating not only their commitment to fostering varied and inclusive teams but also their track record of successful investments.
