About
Based on the shores of lake Zürich with partners world-wide, Xandance & Partners connects family offices and venture capital companies globally. We source and share select investment opportunities, private transactions, and direct investments in the alternative investment space.
The companies in our portfolio go through a multi-stage vetting phase before we start working with them to acquire additional funding and partners by connecting family offices, VC’s etc. from our network, while also investing in them ourselves.
We are industry agnostic, but predominantly work with companies that have a finalized product, proven business model, an excellent executive team and are now looking to grow.
Philosophy
Our philosophy at Xandance is to facilitate and enable investments in future oriented and sustainable companies, as well as funds for the long-term.
Vision
Our vision is to inspire founders and investors to take part in the advancement of a Greener Economy.
