Product overview

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BioMedPartners: Basel-based venture capital firm investing in early- and mid-stage healthcare and life sciences companies. Comparable as a regionally anchored European healthcare specialist investor with longer track record and institutional capital versus SHA's angel model.
• EIT Health: Large European healthcare innovation network backed by the EU, listed as a strategic partner of SHA. Comparable as a healthcare deal-sourcing ecosystem player, but with much broader geographic scope, institutional backing, and non-investment programmatic activities.
• HealthEquity Ventures (formerly Nextech Invest): Swiss venture capital firm investing in early-stage healthtech and digital health startups. Comparable as a Switzerland-based specialist investor in the healthcare vertical, providing a benchmark for deal activity, cheque size, and exit outcomes in SHA's market.

Direct peers

• HEMEX: Swiss healthcare-focused service and investment partner of Swiss Health Angels supporting startup incubation and business development. Closely comparable as a Swiss-based healthcare investor/services hybrid operating in the same ecosystem with overlapping portfolio companies.
• Angels Santé: French healthcare-focused angel investor network explicitly listed as a strategic partner of Swiss Health Angels. Same business model of curated health/life sciences deal flow and community-led angel investing, providing a directly comparable peer for benchmarking membership and deal activity.
• Swiss Healthcare Startups: Swiss organization supporting healthcare startups, listed as a core partner. Comparable as a Switzerland-based ecosystem connector focused on sourcing and showcasing early-stage healthcare ventures, overlapping with SHA's deal pipeline.
• Joyance Partners: Investment partner focused on healthcare and life sciences, listed as a core strategic partner of SHA. Comparable as a thematic health/life sciences investor with shared co-investment and deal flow synergies in the European market.

Others

• Business Angels Europe: Pan-European federation of business angel networks across sectors. Comparable as an umbrella organization coordinating angel activity, though broader than SHA's healthcare specialization. Useful for benchmarking membership models and best practices in European angel networks.

Regional players

• VHIT (Venture Healthcare Innovation & Technology): European-focused healthcare investor and innovation platform. Comparable as a regional thematic healthcare investor, though operating with more institutional capital and a broader geographic footprint than SHA's Swiss-centric angel network.

Emerging players

• Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering: Geneva-based translation center accelerating neuroscience and bioengineering startups. Comparable as a Swiss healthcare innovation hub that creates deal flow and spin-offs, similar in ecosystem role though structured as a non-profit research center rather than an investor association.
