OOMNIUM – Pros & Cons
About OOMNIUM
What it is
OOMNIUM is a Swiss equity crowdinvesting platform from Zurich, launched in 2023. Investors buy stakes in Swiss startups and young companies. Its counters show CHF 35.8 million invested across 43 successful financing rounds and 15,590 registered users (read 30 October 2026; the counters are undated). Registered users are not the same as investors. Besides public campaigns, the platform now also runs private rounds open to members only.
How it works
You register for free, choose a company and subscribe; payment is by bank transfer within 48 hours. Depending on the company, you receive ordinary registered shares, digital shares recorded on a blockchain and delivered to your own wallet through the partner Aktionariat, or a convertible loan that later turns into shares. If a campaign misses its minimum target, the money is refunded after it closes. Each campaign sets its own minimum; no platform-wide minimum is published. On 30 October 2026 one members-only round was live and two more were announced. The site is in German, French and English.
Returns
No return figure is published: no target return, no average and no realised result from a company sale or dividend. The deals page shows how far each campaign exceeded its target (for example 191% and 105% for two recent rounds of about CHF 1.15 million each), but that measures demand from investors, not what they earned. Most companies were funded from 2023 onward, so it is still early for sales or listings.
Losses and defaults
The platform publishes no figure on failed companies, write-downs or down rounds. Its deals page lists successful campaigns only, so investors cannot see how the earlier companies are doing. The risk warnings say these investments suit only people who can afford to lose all or part of the money.
What secures your money
Nothing secures your investment. You buy unlisted shares or convertible loans in young companies, with no collateral, guarantee or compensation scheme; if a company fails, the money can be lost in full. The homepage says all companies are checked externally, but it does not say by whom or how, and the risk warnings state that the platform takes no responsibility for what companies publish. Digital shares sit in your own wallet, so they do not depend on the platform surviving, but losing access to the wallet can mean losing the shares.
Who runs it and its licence
The operator is OOMNIUM AG, Zurich (company number CHE-362.911.768). It holds no licence from FINMA, the Swiss financial regulator. It states membership of VQF, a self-regulatory body recognised by FINMA that supervises only anti-money-laundering rules. Switzerland is outside the EU, so the European crowdfunding licence does not apply. Campaigns are kept to at most CHF 8 million so that no prospectus is required, which means no regulator reviews the offer documents. The management team and board are named on the site.
Fees
The platform says it charges fees on investments but publishes no amounts (October 2026). It points out that digital shares avoid bank custody fees. Ask for the full costs before investing.
Getting your money out
There is no secondary market on the platform. Shares and convertible loans have no end date, so you get money back only if the company is sold, lists or pays dividends. Digital shares can in principle be transferred, but no trading venue is offered.
Our view
Return: not rated, because no return figure is published. Risk: High (higher means more risk) — you hold unsecured startup stakes you cannot easily sell, the platform has no financial licence and offers are not reviewed by a regulator, and after 43 rounds it publishes nothing on failures or results. Risk-return: not rated, because there is no return figure to weigh against the risk.
Regulation
License / Regulation: No financial licence. OOMNIUM AG states membership of VQF, a FINMA-recognised self-regulatory organisation that supervises anti-money-laundering compliance only (membership stated by the platform; not checked in the VQF list, Oct 2026). Switzerland is outside the EU, so the European crowdfunding regulation does not apply. Campaigns are capped at CHF 8 million to stay outside the Swiss prospectus obligation.
Functionality
For Investors
Useful Information
Not as a financial service. OOMNIUM AG has no FINMA licence; it states membership of VQF, a self-regulatory body that supervises only anti-money-laundering rules. Campaigns stay under CHF 8 million so that no prospectus is needed, so no regulator reviews the offer documents.
You pay by bank transfer within 48 hours of subscribing, but the platform does not name the bank or say whether the money is kept in a separate account. Digital shares are delivered to your own wallet through the partner Aktionariat.
Usually not. The public offer is for Swiss residents; people from other countries are accepted only exceptionally, after identity and address checks, and the conditions are not published.
Each campaign sets its own minimum. No platform-wide minimum is published.
Neither is published. The platform shows how much each campaign raised and how far it exceeded its target, which measures demand, not returns. No company sale, dividend, failure or write-down has been reported across 43 rounds since 2023.
Nothing. You buy shares or convertible loans in young unlisted companies, with no collateral, guarantee or compensation scheme. If a company fails you can lose everything. Digital shares sit in your own wallet, so they survive if the platform closes, but losing wallet access can mean losing them.
Not on the platform: there is no secondary market, and the shares have no end date. Money comes back only if the company is sold, lists or pays dividends.
The platform says it charges fees on investments but publishes no amounts (October 2026). Ask for the full costs before you invest.
Your shares are held in the companies, and digital shares are in your own wallet, so they would not disappear with the platform. You would lose the platform as a source of company updates.
