Investment pooling made easy

Co-investors in Switzerland are using investment syndicates (also called investment clubs) to pool their funds in a simple partnership and access venture deals, real estate investments, and angel investments in startups with small ticket sizes.

Whether you are an angel investor or VC looking to pool funds, a start-up that wishes to pool small investors in its cap table, or a syndicate platform provider that dedicates know-how to connect investors, founders, and companies, LEXR is your legal partner. We ensure a fast, tax-optimized, and compliant setup of your investment syndicate under Swiss law.
