One journey. A shared ambition.

Proposed production experience
01

Find your company

Explore curated Albanian startups, read their pitch and review their teams, traction and round documents.

02

Make an informed choice

Complete identity and eligibility checks, understand the risks and choose your equity allocation from CHF 500.

03

Own it together

Investors join a Swiss SPV. It takes a minority stake in the startup, keeping one new name on its cap table.

A minority round keeps founders in control of their company. One pooled investor vehicle keeps the ownership structure ready for future capital.

Illustrative ownership after one round. Rights and future dilution depend on final agreements.

TWO POTENTIAL ROUTES TO AN EXIT

Patient capital. A clearer process.

01

Community transfers

Offer a position on the internal secondary market. A transfer depends on a willing buyer and applicable restrictions.

02

A coordinated sale

The target is a centrally organised sale after 5–7 years, so individual investors would not negotiate alone.

Target horizon · not a promised exit

No guaranteed liquidity, timing or return. Capital may remain invested longer.

BEFORE YOU INVEST

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Understanding the structure matters as much as believing in the company.

You could lose all invested capital.
What do I actually invest in?

The intended structure is an equity interest through a Swiss special purpose vehicle (SPV). The SPV holds a minority stake in an Albanian startup on behalf of the round’s investors. The exact rights would be set out in investment and shareholder documents.

Can I invest less than CHF 500?

The platform’s intended minimum investment is CHF 500 per primary investment.

How can I sell my position?

The proposed first route is a transfer through the internal secondary market, subject to finding a buyer, eligibility and transfer restrictions. A coordinated sale is targeted after five to seven years. Neither a sale, a buyer, the timing nor any return is guaranteed. You may need to hold the investment longer.

Who controls the startup after a round?

A typical round offers 10–15% minority equity, leaving 85–90% with existing owners immediately after that round. Pooling the investors into one Swiss SPV gives the startup a single new shareholder. Control and investor protections would depend on the shareholder agreements; future rounds can dilute ownership.

Is Alpina Invest licensed or approved?

This is a product demonstration, not an operating investment service. The proposed legal model uses direct pass-through of funds and an affiliation with a recognised Swiss self-regulatory organisation (SRO) for anti-money-laundering supervision. Licensing requirements and this setup have not been validated here. No FINMA authorisation, SRO affiliation or regulatory approval is claimed.

What could I lose?

Startup equity is high risk. A company can fail and you could lose your entire investment. Other risks include limited liquidity, dilution, uncertain valuations, currency movements and cross-border legal or operational issues. Neither the Swiss SPV nor the proposed review process removes these risks.

Why is there no login?

Every feature is open so you can explore the product. Investments, transfers, saved companies and founder applications are fictional and stored locally in this browser. A production service would require sign-in, identity verification, eligibility checks and appropriate agreements. No account or real investment is created here.
