Lakestar (Switzerland)

Note: this entry is a duplicate of Lakestar in the row above. Both entries describe the same firm: Lakestar, the Zurich-based venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Klaus Hommels. The two rows appear to reflect a data entry error where the firm was added twice under slightly different names. Full details are captured in the Lakestar entry immediately above. Lakestar manages more than $2 billion in assets under management and has invested in Spotify, Airbnb, Revolut, Klarna, and Skype, among many other significant consumer and enterprise technology companies. This duplicate entry should be reviewed and removed or consolidated with the primary Lakestar listing to avoid confusion for founders using the directory.
