Swiss fintech firm iAccess Partners and Basel-headquartered venture capital firm QAI Ventures have established a strategic partnership designed to broaden access to early-stage quantum technology and advanced computing investments. By leveraging bankable International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs), the partnership lowers the minimum investment threshold for qualified and professional investors down to USD $25,000.

Democratizing Deep-Tech Venture Capital Access
Venture investments in early-stage deep-tech companies have historically been restricted to large institutional investors—such as pension funds and insurance companies—due to high minimum capital commitments. The partnership combines QAI Ventures’ domain-specific technical deal sourcing with iAccess Partners’ digital private market structuring:
- Digital Bankable Structuring: Qualified private investors, wealth managers, and financial intermediaries can execute investments via standard bank custody accounts using a dedicated ISIN, bypassing complex private equity subscription paperwork.
- Focus on Pre-Seed and Seed Stages: Capital raised will feed into QAI Ventures’ latest fund, targeting early-stage startups advancing quantum processors, quantum sensors, quantum encryption, high-performance computing (HPC), and next-generation semiconductors.
- Ecosystem Sourcing: Deal flow is supported through QAI Ventures’ proprietary global accelerator hubs operating across Switzerland, Canada, Singapore, and Japan.
Leadership Perspectives
Alexandra Beckstein, CEO and General Partner of QAI Ventures, emphasized that expert scientific diligence is essential in quantum market selection, noting that structured investment platforms allow smaller-ticket investors to participate directly in foundational economic infrastructure. Nicolas Werner, Partner at iAccess Partners, added that the partnership bridges the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment by providing private investors direct access to proprietary venture-stage deal flow.
