our story

Experience, Innovation, Passion, Drive & Aligned-Interests

Our CEO & Founder, Raphael Rohner, founded the Swiss lifestyle and cosmetics brand, Beneva Black, and scaled it to over 50k customers after three years. The company was then acquired by GIDOR Group. 

The company’s success came through performance marketing. Knowing that 99% of agencies don't deliver performance, the idea of building a fully performance-based e-commerce powerhouse evolved and eventually resulted in the business R17 Ventures AG. 

R17 Ventures AG is dedicated to helping ambitious digital businesses to scale using cutting edge performance marketing while having skin in the game and working with performance-based remuneration.
