About The Fund

Session VC is an investment fund focused on empowering founders to go further in developing tech-enabled growth companies. They have a clear penchant for the startup ecosystem, actively investing in industries such as Software (including Web Marketplaces and SaaS), Business Solutions, Web Security & Privacy, and the Consumer sector. Session VC specializes in different stages of a startup's life, from Pre-Seed to Series B, with investments ranging from a minimum of $150,000 to a maximum of $300,000, while their sweet spot investment is around $225,000. This illustrates their dedication to not just seed funding but also to providing meaningful follow-through as the companies mature. The founders of Session VC—Martin Altorfer, Philippe Bubb, and Jeremias Meier—have a combined experience of over three decades in company building, from inception to successful exits, including creating two Unicorns. They bring an owner-operator mindset to the table, underlined by their hands-on approach where they do not hesitate to adopt temporary executive roles in their investee companies to drive growth. The partners have backgrounds in strategic product management, go-to-market fundamentals, software architecture, organizational development, recruiting key hires, and interim C-level engagement. They also focus on essential areas such as structuring financing, financial modeling, and implementing employee stock ownership plans (ESOP/PSOP). Furthermore, Session VC partners with multiple enterprises, from market-leading business software for Swiss SMEs to globally recognized brands in other sectors. They are characterized by their transparency, simplicity, humility, and passion for building alongside great people, attributes that are also echoed in testimonials from founders who have worked with them. Session VC is thus in a unique position as a founder-led, operationally savvy firm with both the experience and the commitment necessary to support and scale innovative startups.
