What the numbers say

The two largest deals are 67% of the month's capital, so the total describes a handful of companies rather than the market.

The median round is CHF 1.4M against a mean of CHF 3.9M. The gap is the month in one line: a long tail of small rounds under a few large ones.

5 of 16 rounds were pre-seed or seed, and together they drew 14% of the capital. The formation end is busy and cheap.

7 of 16 rounds came out of an institution (EPFL 4, ETH Zurich 2, ARIS (Academic Spaceflight Initiative Switzerland) 1), which is the structural feature of this market rather than a feature of the month.

37 distinct investors were named across 15 rounds. Only 2 appear more than once: EquityPitcher Ventures, Venture Kick.

0 of 16 closed rounds have been checked against a primary source, covering nothing of the CHF 51.3M, 0%. The rest is as reported. Every error found in this database so far was a figure or a label that a primary source contradicted, so that share is the weight this page can carry.

3 of 16 rounds have no stated amount, so CHF 51.3M is a floor rather than a total. The database records what the press carried, so undisclosed rounds and quiet extensions do not reach it, and 15 of 16 rounds name their investors. This is reported activity, not a market census, and one month is too short to read as a trend.
