Who we are
Tenity started in 2015 as an open innovation initiative at SIX, the Swiss Stock Exchange. Over a decade, it has evolved into a fully independent fintech innovation ecosystem operating across six hubs — Zurich, Singapore, London, Madrid, Istanbul, and Hong Kong. Today Tenity combines two engines: venture capital backing pre-seed to Series A founders across Europe and APAC, and innovation services connecting corporates and institutions with the startups they need to turn strategic goals into measurable outcomes. With 1,600+ startups supported, 65+ institutional partners, and 200+ portfolio companies, Tenity is one of the most active fintech innovation ecosystems in the world.
About Tenity’s origins: founded out of the Swiss Stock Exchange, Tenity brings a rigour and credibility that opens doors across European and Asian financial institutions. Swiss heritage means regulatory awareness, institutional trust, and long-term thinking — qualities that matter when building at the frontier of fintech, AI, and digital assets.
This foundation — built over a decade, across two continents, with some of the world’s most demanding financial institutions — is what makes Tenity a different kind of partner for both founders and corporates.
