Altendorf, Switzerland, June 4, 2026. Vi Partners, the longest-established Swiss venture capital firm, today announces its investment in Airspeed, as part of the company’s Series A financing round. The investment marks the first deployment from Vi Partners’ new CHF 150 million fund, following the successful first closing announced earlier this year. This investment extends the firm's European software strategy from its Swiss base into one of the continent's most active enterprise AI ecosystems.
Airspeed is building an agent-native execution layer for revenue teams. Its AI agents work across the entire revenue workflow, updating CRM records, flagging deal risk, generating follow-ups, and coaching reps based on real conversations, without requiring teams to change how they sell. The platform is used by more than 180 customers across 20 countries, with most reaching business-critical adoption within weeks of going live. Founded in 2022 by former DeepMind research scientists Adam Liska and Devang Agrawal, Airspeed (formerly Glyphic) is headquartered across London and New York.
The investment reflects Vi Partners’ continued focus on backing ambitious early-stage technology companies that have scaled internationally from European bases. Airspeed joins a portfolio that includes European category-defining software and technology businesses such as Nexthink, SumUp, and Unique.
"Airspeed represents the type of company our new fund is built to back: a technically deep team addressing a structural enterprise need with a highly scalable AI-native platform," said Olivier Laplace, Managing Partner at Vi Partners, who led the investment. "From Switzerland, we invest across European software. London is one of the most important AI and enterprise software hubs in Europe, and Airspeed sits squarely in the category we believe will reshape how revenue organisations operate over the coming decade."
The transaction also represents the first investment since Julien Pache joined Vi Partners earlier this year as Partner, Technology. Julien brings more than fifteen years of venture capital and operational experience across SaaS and deeptech investing.
“Airspeed combines strong product vision with a clear understanding of how enterprise revenue teams actually operate”, said Julien Pache. “We are particularly impressed by the team’s execution speed, their applied AI discipline, and the relevance of the platform for the kind of complex, multi-country sales organisations we know well from our Swiss and European corporate ecosystem."
The investment follows the first close of Vi Partners’ latest venture capital fund, targeting CHF 150 million across technology and healthcare investments. The fund continues fundraising activities with further closings expected during the year.
“With the first close completed, we are now actively deploying our new fund into the next generation of European technology and healthcare companies, from our Swiss base,” said Diego Braguglia, Managing Partner at Vi Partners. “This investment marks an important milestone for the firm and reflects the continued momentum of our new fund.”
