For customer growth and usage in terms of trading volume, assets under management, basket size, etc., it is key to generate traffic to your digital products and services, convert the potential users in the lead funnel to customers, and then establish first-time usage and increase engagement. Combining traditional marketing and sales initiatives with new digital-first and data-driven approaches and tools has proven to be particularly effective.

Data Driven Growth

Ile Cepilov gives in this episode answers and explains how the Axelra booster «Referral» can be used to lower Customers Acquisition Costs (CACs).

In this episode Tobias Boner is explaining how we build and deliver Dashboards for our ventures. Here the link to the public dashboard of THORWallet DEX.

Watch this Episode of the «Axelra Show» about the Axelra Booster «Gamification» with Jonas Brunner. We're talking about the cooperative gamification approach of the VIABZ Challenge (now KINASTIC AG) and the stimulation of loyalty for THORWallet DEX.

For digital products and services, fast, easy and secure customer onboarding is key. The used SaaS solutions automate and improve the identification and processing of the real identity of the people behind the screens. This reduces onboarding processes to a few minutes and lowers costs.

Customer Onboarding

The Axelra Booster «Crypto Onboarding» delivers the wallet creation and protection by the user's biometrics. If you want to know more about it, watch this episode with Severin Wullschleger, Co-Founder of Axelra AG.

Customers expect digital products and services to be easy, fast, and secure to interact with. Moreover, it is increasingly helpful if customers can first try out the new offering for free and then simply switch to a subscription model. We use a selection of useful Saas solutions for this purpose, which simplify and accelerate the daily operation.

Swiss Early Stage Tech Venture Funding Map 2024

Swiss Fintech Awards & Fintech Germany Award Winner 2021-Built in: 133 Day-Top 1 CH Fintech 2021 Handelszeitung,  March 21   

Since 2019, we build and scale tech ventures and ship after 100 days revenue generating MVPs.

Axelra Tech Venture Builder - Ventures

Switzerland has the highest innovation power worldwide. It is therefore not surprising that 10% of the global European fintech companies are based in Switzerland. The Fintech Report 2021 lists around 400 fintechs, with 56% based in Zurich. An always up-to-date and interactive overview can be found on the Fintechmap. 

Venture building is a rather new and challenging discipline. The ever-increasing popularity of private equity as an asset class is fueling the scene worldwide. Especially the early stage venture asset class with the focus in the venture building process. 

It is noteworthy, that due to Covid-19 in Q1-Q3 2020, overall VC investments declined by an average of 12% globally compared to the previous year. Not so in Zurich! In Zurich, VC investments have increased by almost 100% during this time period. 

In this respect, tech venture building in Zurich is a really exciting market and the timing is right. Since the incorporation of tech venture builder Axelra in 2019, we have accelerated the many tech ventures in collaboration with corporates, startups, and ecosystem partners. And of course, we do so with skin in the game! :)

From co-creation to independence

Lets drink a coffee and figure out how we can together ignite, accelerate and deliver the next tech venture with skin in the game.

Axelra Tech Venture Builder - Start Building

We build and scale digital products and services and the business around it with skin in the game. There we align the common interests by investing up to 50% of our total technology development costs in the project. We are open to different participation models, e.g. Sweat-Equity, KPI based Revenue-Share, Volume based conditions etc.

Our incremental and fast approach with many go-lives provides the opportunity to learn and improve quickly. Therefore our approach takes 100 days from the idea to the launch of a revenue generating MVP. 

We always target the independence of our projects and ventures by supporting the idea of building a self sustaining organisation and business and therefore Axelra will, after a jointly agreed venture building plan was established, handover the core operations to the built team of the venture.

We work with partners to enable proper operation and the desired growth. To achieve this, we use the combined power and experience of our ecosystem to continuously develop the product and the business.

Skin in the game

Together entrepreneurial and result-oriented
For each venture, we jointly establish a setup that ensures self-organisation, agile and entrepreneurial work and focus on results. The MVPs are developed and continuously tested together with customers as well as iteratively improved to enhance the solution-market fit. 

Diversity
We put together cross-company and cross-functional teams, with a skill mix and availability that we adapt to the specific situation. We work in a focused and collaborative manner on site with the customer, in the Venture Builder and from home.

Speed Execution with Startups and Corporates

We are curious and want to find out what you are looking for.
