About us

We believe that the world's biggest challenges can be tackled through breakthrough technologies and global collaboration. We invest in health and climate solutions to generate sustainable value and leave a better world for future generations.

To tackle these challenges, teams need access to big markets, the support of a like-minded community, and investors who aren't afraid to take risks and fund big visions early on. That's where DART comes in.

DART is woven into the ecosystems of both the United States and Switzerland, connecting the best of both worlds. We identify the best European startups and help turn them into global players, while offering US investors the opportunity to tap into the talent pools of Europe, home to world-class research and universities.‍‍
