We operate with a direct investment method to focus on quality

Instead of investing in dozens or hundreds of startups like a traditional VC, we select and target companies which are in their growth phase. These are companies which already have solid market validations and generate revenue, and are generally in their Series C or D. We then operate as a business partner with the company we invest in in order to support their growth and support them in strategic decisions.

      Creation of Lian Group

      After meeting at a crypto conference, Fiorenzo Manganiello and Nessim-Sariel Gaon decided to create a company together. They regretted the lack of tech expertise in Switzerland and wanted to found a company which would be the expert in the domain.
    • 2020

      Launching of Cowa

    • 2021

      Creation of EVOO

      The tech industry is fastest growing of them all. Lian wanted to use its technology expertise which previously only applied in private markets, and bring it to listed companies. Lian decided to launch 2 thematic AMCs under the EVOO brand: one in blockchain and one in cloud computing. The goal was to apply the same tech knowledge and expertise as in their investments and in-house ventures, but this time in focused strategies in the listed market. 2021 also marked the opening of our office in Tel Aviv.

    With a young and dynamic team whose average age does not exceed 30 years old, Lian wants to help young creators constantly push the limits and break conventions. We organize many types of events, and recently partnered with renowned entities such as the United Nations, Art Basel, Geneva’s Red Cross, la Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design (HEAD) Geneva and the City of Geneva.
