Sway Ventures

Sway Ventures is a venture firm with offices in San Francisco and Berlin, investing across early and growth stages in software companies including enterprise SaaS, consumer technology, and adjacent themes. The firm is generalist with a broader technology mandate, and healthcare appears in the portfolio opportunistically rather than as a defined vertical. Check sizes typically scale with stage, ranging from low single-digit millions at Series A to larger commitments in growth rounds, with the firm able to lead or co-lead depending on conviction and round dynamics. Healthcare AI founders should approach if the company is fundamentally a software business with breakout enterprise or consumer dynamics, and a healthcare angle layered on top, rather than a regulated therapeutic, device, or hospital-enterprise-only company. The natural fit is a Series A or growth-stage software company with strong commercial signals, ambitious growth trajectory, and the kind of metrics that justify a generalist technology investor’s attention. Founders pursuing capital-intensive therapeutics, complex devices, or deeply regulated healthcare businesses are unlikely to match. The best entry path is a warm introduction from a portfolio CEO, a fellow generalist investor, or a banker for growth rounds. Direct outreach via LinkedIn to partners is acceptable for cold contact when the metrics warrant, ideally paired with a tight executive summary, growth metrics, and a clear articulation of why a generalist technology investor with US and European reach adds value to the company’s specific stage and trajectory.
