Kellerhals Carrard advises Vsquared Ventures on AlphaLum’s CHF 3.4 Million Seed Financing Round
As augmented and spatial computing move steadily from concept to consumer reality, one challenge remains decisive: how to deliver high-performance visual and sensing capabilities in devices that are light, energy-efficient and wearable all day. AlphaLum, a Lausanne-based deep-tech company, is addressing this challenge at its technological core.
AlphaLum has successfully closed a CHF 3.4 million seed financing round, led by Vsquared Ventures, one of Europe’s leading early-stage investors in frontier technologies. The transaction reflects growing investor conviction that advances in holographic optics and ultra-low-power optical sensing will be key enablers for the next generation of smart glasses and augmented reality hardware.
Founded as a spin-out from ams OSRAM’s corporate incubator, AlphaLum develops highly efficient transparent display solutions combined with interferometric laser-based sensing and AI-enabled signal processing. Its technology aims to significantly reduce power consumption while enabling continuous spatial awareness — two of the main bottlenecks that have so far limited mass-market adoption of wearable AR devices. The newly raised capital will support further technology development and the transition towards industrialisation.
Kellerhals Carrard advised Vsquared Ventures on all Swiss legal aspects of the transaction, supporting the lead investor throughout the structuring and execution of the seed financing round.
The Kellerhals Carrard team included Umberto Milano (Partner, Corporate / VC), Marine Jorio (Associate, Corporate / VC), Arnault Exckert (Associate, Corporate / VC), Céline Schmid (Counsel / Employment) and Eliane Haas (Senior Associate / IP).
We congratulate Vsquared Ventures (Benedikt von Schoeler), AlphaLum (Markus Rossi) and all parties involved on the successful completion of this financing and are pleased to support investors backing Europe’s most promising deep-tech companies.
