Who are we?

Welcome to the Kellerhals Carrard Startup & Venture Capital Team, where innovation and technology meet law!

We are not your average law firm; we live the ‘startup vibe’ while grounding our business on the foundation of a law firm that has gained expertise for over a century.

We advise technology companies (including spin-offs from ETH, HSG and other reputed Swiss universities) at all stages of their life cycle - from founding to exit.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
