Coventures is a platform for impact entrepreneurship. We connect bright entrepreneurs with corporate assets and know-how to build meaningful ventures.
We believe entrepreneurship has the potential to solve truly important challenges, but it requires cooperation. We need corporates with assets and know-how to work together with entrepreneurs in creating truly meaningful digital ventures
With our Co-venturing model, we help organizations to identify the strategically important whitespaces where digital ventures can play a key role. Then we validate the market risk and technical feasibility of the venture to build a solid business case. Finally, we build the venture as a stand-alone independent business.
We, our partners, and our network of entrepreneurs provide all the know-how and expertise needed from developing and validating the idea, to building and scaling the venture.

**Restoring sovereignty in the digital world.**
Vereign builds digital authenticity infrastructure — verifiable identities, data, and communications across organizations. Our SEAL platform processes 800,000+ secure interactions monthly across the Swiss healthcare ecosystem, proving encrypted communication at enterprise scale.
We create trust infrastructure for regulated multi-stakeholder environments. Where current systems delegate security to third-party intermediaries, our decentralized key management (DKMS) puts trust authority at the endpoints themselves — making authenticity cryptographically provable, not assumed.
Swiss-founded, Swiss-valued: precision, neutrality, trust. From healthcare to finance, legal to cybersecurity, we serve organizations that need verifiable proof — not promises — in their digital interactions.
