Interpares AG

What Interpares AG does

Interpares AG is a Swiss holding, consulting, and early-stage investment company founded in 2020 by Basil Martin and headquartered at Hauptstrasse 9 in Bottighofen, Switzerland. The firm operates three service lines: consulting (advisory board memberships, board mandates, and point-in-time engagements covering strategy, risk, crisis, and technology topics), early-stage investing as a business angel across pre-seed and seed rounds, and portfolio management. It primarily serves Swiss start-ups and established companies across SaaS/PaaS, PropTech, FinTech, DeepTech, MedTech, digital real estate, and the Swiss brewery sector.

The firm's portfolio spans 22+ named companies and includes equity stakes in digital platforms (e.g., Fairpicture, Kitro, Greenstate), advisory mandates (e.g., Curanova, Qualipool, Vigilitech), and a wholly-owned subsidiary, RallyGuide, a database platform for regularity rally events in Switzerland and Europe. Interpares also operates a domain portfolio marketplace via domain-portfolio.ch, generating transactional revenue from domain sales. It does not develop proprietary technology as a core function, instead positioning itself as a hands-on partner and mentor rather than a passive capital provider.

Revenue mechanics derive from three sources: consulting and advisory fees priced on a custom, engagement-specific basis; investment returns through equity appreciation across the portfolio; and transaction fees from domain sales. Go-to-market is sales-led and community-led, relying on the founder's personal network, direct outreach, and a LinkedIn presence. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional shareholders, operating solely within Switzerland, and is registered as Interpares AG under Swiss UID CHE-202.310.760.
