The Lichtsteiner Foundation is a non-profit organization that focuses on supporting projects and initiatives in the fields of education, science, and culture. It aims to promote and develop these areas by providing financial assistance, expertise, and resources to selected projects.

Lichtsteiner Foundation

The Lichtsteiner Foundation invests in early stage start-ups (in Medtech, Life Science, Mental Health, Public Health and Wellbeing), to help pioneers bring their inventions to life. The Foundation focuses on impact investing by providing funding in the form of equity.

The purpose of the Lichtsteiner Foundation is to promote discoveries in the field of medicine for the improvement of people’s health around the world. The Lichtsteiner Foundation is a charitable, tax-exempt, independent foundation under Swiss law with its registered office in Berne and is subject to the supervision of the Federal Department of Internal Affairs.

The Foundation supports 1 – 5 start-ups in the early-stage phase every year – in other words no research projects – with a total value of CHF 1  million. It can work in Switzerland and internationally within the framework of its purpose; it does not seek a pecuniary gain or to make a profit. #foundation #startups #founders #profiling #impactinvesting #cofounding #health #medicaltechnology #biotechnology #lifescience #mentalhealth #publichealth #wellbeing
