We are proud to be featured in Moneycab, where Venturelab Co-Founder and Managing Partner Jordi Montserrat shares his perspective on the impact of the Top100 Swiss Startup Award, and what Switzerland needs to build the next generation of global market leaders 🚀

Since 2011, 677 startups have been selected for Top100, resulting in 112 exits, 11 IPOs, and thousands of jobs created.

In the interview, Jordi discusses the strength of the Top100 portfolio, the potential of Swiss deeptech, and why more growth capital is essential to keep successful scaleups, research, intellectual property, and high-quality jobs in Switzerland.

“If we want successful scaleups to remain here in the long term, we also need more growth capital” highlights Jordi.

xorlab raises EUR 5 million to build Europe’s sovereign email security platform 🔐 https://www.venture-leaders.ch/xorlab-raises-EUR-5-million-to-build-Europes-sovereign-email-security-platform

A six-time Top100 Swiss Startup ranker and member of the Venture Leaders Technology team in 2021, Zurich-based xorlab has raised EUR 5 million in a Series A+ round led by Spicehaus Partners, with participation from Grapha-Holding AG, EquityPitcher Ventures, and Zürcher Kantonalbank Startup Finance.

The funding will support xorlab’s expansion across Europe, starting with DACH, Benelux, and the Nordics, as demand grows for cybersecurity solutions that reduce reliance on US-controlled infrastructure.

xorlab’s behavioral AI protects organizations against advanced email threats, including AI-generated phishing and business email compromise, while allowing them to maintain control over their data and infrastructure.

Trusted by organizations including Julius Baer, Swisscom, Vontobel, G+D, and CERN, xorlab is scaling its technology as European organizations increasingly prioritize digital sovereignty and resilient cybersecurity infrastructure.

👏 Congratulations to the xorlab team on this important milestone and their continued growth across Europe!

What if psychiatrists could identify the right depression treatment before the trial-and-error process begins? 🧠 https://www.venture-leaders.ch/DeepPsy-The-Venture-Leader-Medtech-helping-psychiatrists-find-the-best-treatment

That’s the idea behind DeepPsy, one of the startups joining the Venture Leaders Medtech 2026 roadshow to Boston this October.

Led by Co-Founder & CEO Mateo de Bardeci, DeepPsy helps psychiatrists identify the best treatment for patients with depression by analyzing EEG and ECG brain data before treatment begins.

By turning biological data into clinical decision support, the platform aims to make treatment selection more precise while reducing the trial and error patients often face.

In October, Mateo will join the Swiss National Medtech Team in Boston to connect with investors, industry leaders, and potential partners.
