Daniel Gutenberg is a serial Swiss angel investor and Venture Partner at VI Partners since 2003, having founded and sold his own company, Gutenberg Communication Systems, to Telindus in 2000 before becoming an active investor in 2002. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed stages in technology sectors including AI, fintech, robotics, and business software, with a primary geographic focus on Europe and a distinctive interest in the Israeli startup scene. Gutenberg typically invests personal capital as an angel, having made over 100 to 250 investments, and is known for identifying unicorns when they have fewer than ten employees. Notable portfolio companies include early investments in Netscape, Facebook, Airbnb, Mobileye (acquired by Intel for $15.3B), DeepL, and fonio.ai. A distinctive point of view is his self-description as a “Soonicorn Farmer” who hunts for unicorns at their earliest stages, and he was named Business Angel of the Year by SECA in 2011. He maintains a public profile via his website www.gutenberg.ch and has co-founded the Crypto Finance Conference in St. Moritz.
