Signals help us make decisions before trends become obvious. In venture capital, spotting change early helps us ask better questions and identify the themes that could shape the years ahead. That’s why we created Signals by Bloomhaus. For our first edition, we focused on “Europe’s Next Chapter”, with Arturo Bris and Benjamin B. Bargetzi bringing two very different perspectives on Europe, technology and what lies ahead. And just as important were the people in the room: family offices, investors and experts from our network whose perspectives we value. Thank you to everyone for joining us in Vitznau, for the great conversations - and for making our first Signals such a special evening.

Some of the most interesting conversations are the ones that make you look at a familiar profession differently. Our conversation with Kyriaki Bongard, co-founder of Swiss legal AI startup Silex, was one of those. For centuries, a lawyer’s competitive advantage was knowing where to find the answer. Today, AI can surface it in seconds. That raises a much bigger question: where does value shift when access to knowledge is no longer the bottleneck? Silex is already giving us a glimpse. Built by lawyers for lawyers, the platform is used by more than 800 law firms, banks, insurance companies, and legal departments across Switzerland - strong traction in a market where trust is notoriously hard to earn. We spoke with Kyriaki about how AI is changing legal work, what it takes to build a product professionals actually trust, the deliberate choices behind Silex’s growth, and where she sees the company going next: “AI will not replace lawyers. Lawyers who use AI will replace lawyers who don’t.” https://lnkd.in/gKWnNQHD

The next enterprise software category is emerging in real time: AI governance infrastructure. As companies struggle to keep pace with AI adoption, SECJUR is building the operational layer that helps businesses move fast - without losing control. Bloomhaus spoke with founder Niklas Hanitsch about the EU AI Act, and why the market is accelerating now.

Most companies still treat the EU AI Act as a legal burden. As “shadow AI” spreads across European businesses, compliance is no longer optional - it’s operational survival. In our latest conversation, Niklas Hanitsch, Founder and CEO of SECJUR shares why regulatory pressure and AI adoption are converging faster than many expect - and how he helps companies move fast without losing control.

Your Employees Already Use AI. The Question Is: Do You Control It? Most mid-sized companies think AI adoption is a future problem. It’s already happening - often through unsanctioned tools employees use every day. In our latest conversation, Niklas Hanitsch, Founder and CEO of SECJUR shares why regulatory pressure and AI adoption are converging faster than many expect - and how he helps companies move fast without losing control.
