VP Venture Partners

Zurich, Switzerland

VP Venture Partners is a private Zurich life-science venture firm founded by Valentin Piëch, operated by VP Venture Partners AG at Oberdorfstrasse32,8001Zurich, as confirmed in its own legal privacy disclosure. The branded venture firm launched in2020; commercial-register reporting identifies the AG’s earlier2014 legal incorporation and previous name impact2partners AG, so these are distinguished from the brand’s founding. Its public mandate covers European pre-seed and seed deep-technology life-science ventures in medical devices, diagnostics and digital health, excluding therapeutics and drug development. It combines financing with venture building, scientific diligence, operational coaching and board or interim executive involvement. Six publicly named professionals include the founder, four investment/venture-building professionals and office manager Vendy Zgraggen. Ruth Ketley’s own directory Associate title differs from the LSBC2026 organiser’s Senior Associate label; the manager source is retained with the difference qualified. The firm operates the Soglio Innovation Catalyst, a life-science commercialisation bootcamp; programme participation and free support do not prove an equity investment. It co-led Moonlight AI’s actual USD3.3M May2026 seed financing and incubated the CollimateHealth radiation-oncology venture. No independently verified pooled LP fund vehicle or final fund close is published in the reviewed own sources. Statutory share capital, generic third-party AUM estimates and whole-company financing totals are not manager fund closings or individual check allocations.
