Profile

Horizon21 is a Single Family Office based in Zürich, Switzerland, established in 2004. The firm is privately owned by its founder and serves the needs of the founder and his family. With a team of about 10 people, Horizon21 focuses on private wealth management tailored to the founder's family, offering personalized services and investments that align with their specific interests and goals.

As a family office, Horizon21 typically invests in a variety of asset classes to preserve and grow the family's wealth. The firm does not publicly specify particular sectors, stages, or check sizes. Its investment strategy is primarily guided by the founder's long-term vision rather than predefined commercial interests.

Due to the private nature of family offices, Horizon21's portfolio details are not publicly disclosed. Unlike venture capital or private equity firms, which often have diverse external portfolios, Horizon21 operates with the primary objective of managing and enhancing the family's assets, rather than seeking investments based solely on external market opportunities.
