What our founders say
XISTA has a very respectful and meaningful way to engage with us founders. We love that we know that we can trust their words and they have been very helpful on many different fronts from structuring rounds, securing grants to making introductions to relevant partners. I would recommend them 100% to any early stage founder particularly for those with academic backgrounds.
Lisa Smith, Co-Founder of Prewave
The team from XISTA supported us from the initial fundraising round onwards. Especially with their know-how of building businesses out of academic spin-offs, xsv was very helpful to us from the start and proved to be a reliable and trustworthy partner for academic founders on their way of creating a company.
Markus Holzer, Co-Founder of contextflow
XISTA was instrumental in getting Sarcura started from the pre-seed stage onwards. We could rely on their support in securing our early investment rounds. XISTA is a trusted sparring partner on our board. They support our organizational development, finanzing, and provide access to top-notch infrastructure and world-leading scientific research.
