Infrastructure as competitive advantage
Operator, not investor
Deep-Mate is not a fund. Every entity is run by an industry operator with a P&L to defend. We build to operate, not to sell on in five years.
Skills that feed each other
Our Asian supplier network serves Metzener and IronWod. VortexIA's digital workflows run internally before being offered to clients. Avepto secures our servers before anyone else's. We test on ourselves first.
Results, not promises
Every entity has to hit its numbers. The group isn't there to camouflage or compensate, it pools a network, processes and cash. The rest gets proven on the ground.
Why these activities together?
Chinese sourcing, French-Swiss solar, CrossFit distribution, SME IT, from a distance, it doesn't fit. Up close, these are four markets where the client is looking for the same thing: someone who handles everything, picks up the phone, and delivers. Deep-Mate planted itself exactly on that gap.
Underserved markets
We pick segments where the client juggles five vendors to get one outcome. We become the sixth, and replace the other five.
Pooled capabilities
A Deep-Mate container also carries Metzener and IronWod stock. A VortexIA site runs on an Avepto server. The group shares what can be shared, separates what must stay separate.
Swiss by default
Headquarters in Clarens, teams in Montreux and Lausanne, suppliers in Shenzhen and Yiwu. Swiss standards on contracts, tax and quality. Asia for production. Not the other way around.
David Perrino
"Value isn't in the product or the service. It's in the coordination. Finding the right Chinese supplier, negotiating the right Incoterm, clearing customs cleanly, delivering on time, each move is mundane. Stringing them together without breaking anything is what people pay for."
Fifteen years between China and French-speaking Switzerland, buying, negotiating, importing, delivering. David founded Deep-Mate after watching too many SMEs get burned by intermediaries who never set foot in a factory. Today he runs six operating entities from Clarens, and still spends a few weeks a year in Asia.
What doesn't change.
