Who we are

  • Bucher & Ambühl is not a product, not an offering, and not a promise.
    We are a framework in which ideas are allowed to emerge — and allowed to fail.

    We build things out of curiosity, conviction, and capability.
    Not because a market demands it.
    Not because something needs to be sold.

  • Our work does not follow a traditional blueprint.

    We think in L.A.B., not in departments.

    We build projects, not products.

    We learn by doing, not by presenting.

    Some experiments fade away.
    Others surprise us.
    Both are valuable — and intentional.

  • Our L.A.B. is a workshop for ideas.
    A place to try things out, discard them, rethink them, and keep building.

    We work with:

    • software

    • algorithms

    • data

    and everything that helps us understand systems better.

    A L.A.B. Cycle is never finished.
    And it doesn’t need a fixed theme.

  • Projects emerge where an idea refuses to let go.
    They are concrete, time-bound, and not designed for growth at any cost.

    A project can:

    • answer a question

    • test a concept

    • sustain itself for a while

    • or be deliberately brought to an end

    Projects are a means — not an end.

  • Currently, one of our focus areas is an algorithmic trading project.
    It reflects our way of working: data-driven, experimental, iterative.

    It is one project among many —
    not what defines Bucher & Ambühl.

  • In the long term, we also see Bucher & Ambühl as an investment vehicle.
    We invest where innovation can emerge — or where it grows out of our own work.

    Here too, the same principles apply:

    • long-term over opportunistic

    • independent over externally driven

    • substance over story
