A founder-led fundraising initiative
Switzerland needs more entrepreneurs in parliament.
Help elect Raphael Tobler to the Swiss National Council in 2027.
Raphael has built companies, created jobs and strengthened Switzerland's startup ecosystem. Now we are raising the funds needed to bring this entrepreneurial experience to Bern.
Initiated by Michael Kubli and Christian Wenger. Not affiliated with Raphael's official campaign committee.

What Raphael will fight for in Bern
A clear, entrepreneurial mandate from someone who has built and led companies himself.
1
Less bureaucracy for startups and SMEs
Cut red tape that slows down founders, hiring and growth. Regulation should enable, not paralyse.
2
Better conditions for investment and growth
Sensible tax and capital rules so Swiss companies can scale here, instead of moving abroad to raise their next round.
3
An education system that strengthens talent and entrepreneurship
Lifelong learning, dual education and stronger bridges between universities and the economy. Switzerland's real competitive edge.
Help finance a winning campaign
Your donation finances voter outreach, digital campaigning, events and a professional campaign organisation across the canton of Zurich.
