The transatlantic investment and corporate advisory firm Contrail Capital chooses Lausanne as home for their European headquarters.
When Jesus Reglero and his colleagues were looking for somewhere to set up their European HQ, the obvious choices were London, Paris, Madrid – where Jesús is from – and Zurich.
So how did they choose Lausanne? “Three things,” says Jesús. “Solid business case, quality of life – this city is very family-friendly – and Innovaud’s investor team.”
In the process of setting up business in Lausanne, Yuliya Blaser and Innovaud supported Jesús every step of the way. “Innovaud is a public organization, yet they’re very business-oriented,” says Jesús. “They’re more like private investors, or consultants, than civil servants.”
Contrail Capital invests and works with low middle-market companies that meet three criteria: they must be scale-ups with an established revenue stream; they must already have a professional investor onboard; and they must have plans to expand to the US.
The firm aims to allocate between half a million and a million francs or dollars per investment, and it’s already backed the Vaud-based companies Scantrust and MATIS.
