Investment Partner

Pär Lange

The conditions of life will continue to get better for most people, in most countries, most of the time, indefinitely. Within a century or two most of humanity will be at or above today's Western living standards. I also speculate, however, that many people will continue to think and say that the conditions of life are getting worse

Pär has been a Partner at Swisscom Ventures since 2007. Since 2024, he has been promoted to managing partner alongside Stefan Kuentz and Alexander Schläpfer.

Pär focuses on sectors poised to disrupt industries, leveraging his extensive background in early-stage investments and entrepreneurship. Before joining Swisscom Ventures, Pär co-founded a mobile operator in Sweden that successfully secured a 3G license and was the Managing Director of a Stockholm-based advisory firm specializing in ICT investments.

Throughout his career, Pär has been involved in numerous successful exits, including companies like Advanon (acquired by CreditGate24), Beqom (acquired by Goldman Sachs), and Firecomms (acquired by ZJF Group). His track record highlights his ability to identify high-potential ventures and guide them to successful acquisitions by global leaders.

In addition to his work at Swisscom, Pär serves on the boards of several innovative companies, including AccelerComm, Billogram, Inpher, and UNISERS, where he provides strategic guidance to drive growth and innovation. His educational background includes an MBA from INSEAD and executive education in Strategic Financial Analysis from Harvard Business School.

With over 15 years of experience in venture capital, combined with his early career in RF and microwave solution design and marketing roles at Ericsson in Japan, Pär brings a deep technical and strategic understanding to his investment activities. His passion for technology and disruptive innovation continues to shape his approach to venture capital.
