IFED - Society

What IFED - Society does

IFED - Society, operated through the Swiss management company AC Attractive Corporation AG (Zug), is a multi-product ecosystem founded in 2000 by Martin Durisch and Pablo von Arx, with full ownership and the presidency held by Antonia Martina Durisch since 2022. Although the firmographic data classifies the entity as a nonprofit, the organization operates a broad commercial platform spanning AI-driven private banking, startup incubation, real estate syndication, commodity trading, M&A succession planning, pre-IPO secondary markets, and DAO-governed philanthropy, organized around five strategic pillars targeting governments, financial institutions, corporates/SMEs, philanthropists/royalty, and startups. The ecosystem claims 5,000+ entrepreneurs on StartupHub, 3,900+ startups created, and CHF 9.6B+ in facilitated funding across 25 years of operations.

The technology stack centers on an AI-driven underwriting engine, algorithmic capital pairing for startup-investor matching, real-time KPI monitoring, blockchain-based smart contracts, quantum-resistant cryptography (Quantum-Proof Settlement Technology), and DAO-governed philanthropic infrastructure. Product surfaces include StartupHub with subscription tiers from CHF 9 to CHF 299 per month, Property Syndication with minimum investments of $25,000 to $100,000, Succession Planning with company listings from CHF 1.75M to CHF 16.5M, a Commodity Trade platform with institutional KYC/AML onboarding, Secondary Markets for pre-IPO transactions, and an Intelligence Centre comprising Economic Registry, Economic Policy Center, and MarketAnalytics. Quantum-Proof Settlement Technology is offered via licensing at a project value range of CHF 110 million to CHF 15 billion for global financial infrastructure including CBDCs.

Revenue is generated through a multi-stream model combining recurring subscription fees, transaction-based commissions (commodity trade, M&A, real estate syndication), enterprise membership fees, technology licensing, and philanthropic donations processed via Stripe. Distribution combines direct sales for enterprise and institutional clients, self-serve product-led platforms for startups and SMBs, and event-driven relationship building — most visibly through WEF 2026 Davos activation with 665+ side events and 24 Houses/Pavilions. The geographic footprint spans Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and the United States, with explicit sanctions-based restrictions on roughly 20 jurisdictions.
