F10 is a Switzerland-based fintech and insurtech incubator and venture builder, headquartered in Zurich with a second hub in Singapore. Founded in 2015 as an initiative of SIX Group – the operator of the Swiss stock exchange – F10 brings together corporate partners and early-stage startups to build financial technology companies. Its structure blends acceleration programs with direct investment, giving it a dual role as both a builder and an investor.
F10 operates across fintech, insurtech, and regtech, with distributed ledger technology and digital assets forming part of its broader mandate. Corporate partners historically include Swiss Re, Zurich Insurance, PostFinance, Baloise, and Julius Baer, among others. This corporate-backed model gives portfolio companies direct access to pilot opportunities, compliance expertise, and go-to-market channels inside established financial institutions – an advantage that pure venture funds rarely match for early-stage B2B startups.
Public information on F10's total assets under management is limited. The firm does not publicly disclose fund size. Its investment activity in blockchain and crypto-native companies is smaller than its broader fintech footprint, with a recorded crypto portfolio of five companies, four of which F10 led.
Notable investments
F10's crypto and digital asset investments sit within a broader portfolio of financial technology companies. Specific named crypto portfolio companies are not consistently disclosed in public filings or press releases. The firm's investment focus within this vertical has leaned toward infrastructure, compliance technology, and tokenization – areas that align with the priorities of its corporate banking and insurance partners. Public information on individual deal sizes and specific crypto portfolio names is limited.
Team
F10 is led by a management team based across Zurich and Singapore. The organization is closely tied to SIX Group's innovation arm. Specific managing partner names and individual investment leads for the crypto vertical are not consistently disclosed in public sources. Public information about the crypto-focused team composition at F10 is limited.
Recent activity
F10 has continued expanding its Singapore operations since 2021, positioning that hub as its gateway to Southeast Asian fintech markets. The firm runs annual cohort programs that periodically include blockchain and digital asset startups. No major public announcements regarding crypto-specific fund raises or high-profile exits have been recorded in the 2025–2026 window based on available information.
F10's position as a corporate-backed incubator gives it structural staying power that independent crypto-native funds sometimes lack during market downturns. Its ties to regulated Swiss financial institutions make it a credible partner for projects targeting institutional adoption of digital assets. That said, its crypto portfolio remains small relative to dedicated blockchain venture funds, and its influence in the crypto venture landscape is modest compared with firms like Multicoin Capital or Paradigm. For startups seeking regulated market access in Switzerland and Singapore, F10 remains a relevant early-stage partner.
