Marco Schneider Portrait

Marco Schneider

Principal, Zurich

Marco is drawn to the non-linear. Guided by first principles and a compulsive need to immerse himself in fields he doesn't yet understand, he builds connections across fields. Journalism shaped his instinct for stories, consulting his understanding of how large organizations work, and Scandinavia’s leading accelerator what skills founders need.

Before Vitamin°C, he was an early-stage investor at Clima Now and was part of the founding team of Sparrow Ventures, the venture studio of Switzerland's largest retail conglomerate. There, he validated new business models, built a venture from zero to six-figure revenue in year one, and scaled it to Series A before exiting.

A lover of good design, good food and kind people.

Let’s talk!


My Approach

“ I back extraordinary founders others haven't found yet and make it my mission to ensure they get the attention, the connections and the conviction they deserve. I don't watch from the sidelines. I seek out the opportunities they don't know exist yet, open doors before they think to knock and join their journey for real. ”

Candor

Telling the truth and helping founders zoom out is one of the most valuable things an investor can bring.

Generosity

The best thing I can give a founder is time, access and the kind of thinking that only comes from someone who has also built.
