We are thrilled to announce our most recent investment into Sleepiz AG, an exciting startup innovating human-centric, personalized health management through contactless monitoring of key health parameters via advanced medical class health devices Sleepiz AG is based in Zurich, Switzerland and a spin-off from ETH Zürich. The investment is made by our Early-stage VC Fund SNGLR XTF Longevity I which focuses on personalized medicine innovations by early-stage start-ups from Europe, while its sister fund SNGLR XTF Smart Mobility & Cities I focuses on innovative solutions for mobility &  smart cities, incl. infrastructure, drones, sustainable energy. SNGLR’s Deal leader for this investment is Dr. med. Nilayini Vamatheva, Venture Partner and practicing medical doctor. In her own words: „Swiss startup Sleepiz has pioneered a method to address sleep problems, thereby reducing or preventing associated health complications and long-term consequences. Their certified medical device, approved in both the EU and the USA, detects sleep apnea in a non-invasive manner, allowing users to sleep comfortably at home without being wired up. The device, placed simply beside the bed, uses electromagnetic waves and machine learning algorithms to accurately monitor breathing rate, pulse rate, and body movements, ensuring a clinically precise collection of data and analysis of sleep quality.“ Dr. des. Ariane Gaertner, Impact Investor and Board Member at Sleepiz AG: “Insufficient quality of sleep lies at the core of an overwhelming amount of serious long-term health issues, yet remains undiagnosed due to a lack of diagnostic infrastructure. Sleepiz has been proven to provide a safe and accurate solution to this problem and can therefore contribute to a better quality of life for many people who would otherwise never have had access to an adequate diagnostic. We are happy to have SNGLR on board to accelerate this important impact mission.” We are looking forward to collaborating and supporting the Sleepiz team on their impressive growth trajectory and their go-to-market across Europe and the United States.

Very insightful post for anyone interested in investing in VC. According to various reports the VC investment activities are currently 40 - 50% below the year 2022. This seems a good indication that 2024 will be another vintage year with the power law. On a personal note: My Co-Founder and I developed the model / strategy to raise a VC fund in 2021, starting fundraising in 2022. In 2023 I thought what a crazy idea, why not just continue as a successful, independent angel investor, as the 12 years before. Now in 2024 , after our recent first closing of two VC funds, I'm sure we have the potential to benefit the power law with both funds. The time to invest in VC and especially in emerging managers is now.

We are thrilled to announce our investment in GEOLITH who is on its way to becoming the global leader in Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). As lithium is needed in large quantities, but the negative environmental impact of traditional extraction is enormous, GEOLITH now offers a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution to the satisfaction of its first customers. Our dialogue with their team and co-investors over the past more than 18 months has lead us to this investment at the occasion of our recent first closing of SNGLR XTF Smart Mobility / Cities I, LP fund. We are delighted to be able to be involved in this important undertaking. “We came first across Geolith in 2020 and found their concept and technologies very promising. Observing their progress in the following 2 years, we started serious discussions in 2022 leading to an investment in 2023. The combination of a fast-growing target market and the steady development of Geolith, their technology and the market acceptance of their technology formed the basis of our investment decision. We are delighted that SNGLR has come to the same conclusion and we welcome them whole hearty as co-investor.” -- Statement by Kuenheim Familiaris, Lead Investor in Geolith “Our investment thesis for smart mobility/ cities sector covers the entire mobility value chain. ‘Green Lithium’ in sufficient quantity is for many mobility solutions along the value chain an important necessity. The 'Green Lithium' solution from Geolith will play an important role. Above all, the recent win of substantial customer contracts and promising sales pipeline confirms our decision to invest in this innovative company.“ -- Klaus Kummermehr, Managing Partner SNGLR Capital https://geolith.fr/ https://www.snglr.group/ #smartcities #smartmobility #exponentialtechnology #sustainability #greentech #energy #VC #singularity Jean-Philippe Gibaud Petra Speidel Klaus Kummermehr Patrick Sutter Dr. Daniel Diemers Ulrich Knopp Dr. Eszter Tanczos Olver Nilayini Vamatheva Trudi Haemmerli Markus Pratschke Prasad Ramakrishnan Patrick Neuenschwander Karim Atari Maria Abou-Sakr Rami Maalouf Karim Saade Jay Gujral Diana Elberse Luca Sambucci Manuel Morales Wyden Jean-Evrard Dominicé

The rapid advancements in #AI, particularly following the launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, have created some pressure on policymakers and leaders to put in place measures that ensure safe and ethical use of AI. Countries have adopted various approaches to regulate AI. Some, like New Zealand, have taken a "Wait and See" approach, relying on existing laws and regulations to control any potential misuse of AI. Others, like Singapore and the UK, have developed non-binding AI guidelines while also leveraging existing frameworks to address AI-related harms. And some countries have enacted dedicated AI laws to govern its usage, like the EU countries with the recent release of the EU AI act. We are also witnessing the formation of various collaborations aimed at ensuring the integrity and trustworthiness of AI. For example, some private initiatives have emerged within specific industries, like the creation of an AI network by a consortium of healthcare leaders. Furthermore, some bilateral government arrangements are also being established, like the agreement between the US and UK on testing AI safety. There is no consensus on the optimal approach to regulating AI, and there will always be a trade-off between stringent regulations and fostering innovation. Different views exist regarding what aspects to regulate, who should regulate, and how regulation should be implemented. It will be interesting to observe how governance frameworks and stakeholder engagements evolve to keep pace with technological developments. Meanwhile, businesses should prepare to address these changes. This entails understanding the AI regulatory landscape affecting (or potentially affecting) the markets in which they operate and revising their internal governance frameworks to align with general guidelines and regulatory requirements. In the era of AI, staying informed and proactive in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape is crucial for business success. #AIregulations #AIguidelines #AIreadiness #GenAI #ResponsibleAI #AIethics #AIinBusiness #SNGLRacademy SNGLR Group Dr. Daniel Diemers Rami Maalouf Karim Atari Manuel Morales Wyden Luca Sambucci
