Although our company never looked for venture capital, I do not think, that this
market is a whole lot greater than here in the USA and I also do not think, that
this will change. The Swiss mentality stops Swiss investors from taking risks on
one hand and lets Swiss enterpreneurs be cautious and therefore slow on the other
hand.
This is not necessarily a bad thing - I think, the market in Switzerland
concerning venture capitalists is healthier and not overloaded.
