Before co-founding Bootstrap Europe to support ground-breaking tech businesses, Stéphanie’s career includes founding, building, and sitting on the board of several successful technology and financial companies in Zurich and London, such as the award-winning fintech start-up Fractal Labs. Stéphanie takes her experiences as a founder and parlays that into guidance and direction to Bootstrap Europe’s portfolio founders in a pragmatic and compassionate way.

Bootstrap Europe’s philosophy of providing debt financing for growth companies was nurtured between 2008 and 2012, when Stephanie, the managing partner for Bootstrap Europe, was responsible for the private equity assets of Cape Capital AG - a Zurich-based multi-asset manager and family office, investing in a whole spectrum of companies, from start-ups to mature businesses.
