LEVA: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

LEVA is a Swiss platform for syndicating co-investments in private markets. It is aimed at deal managers such as business angel networks, syndicate leads, private equity firms, family offices and asset managers. On the platform you set up a deal, invite your investor network, collect commitments and close the deal. It also offers legal structuring of investment vehicles, onboarding with KYC and AML checks, a private data room, digital signatures, administration of capital flows, investor reporting and portfolio administration. It is delivered as a web application.

LEVA is operated by Leva Capital Partners AG, headquartered in Switzerland; no parent company is named. According to its privacy policy, all personal data is stored in a data centre in Zurich, and the policy refers to the GDPR and the Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member state but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. The policy also names various third-party services, such as Google, Cloudflare and SendGrid; ask the vendor which of them come into contact with your deal data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with LEVA

LEVA is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

LEVA hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

LEVA is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs LEVA together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
