What are the best female-led startups from Switzerland?

According to BV4’s database, only around 20% of startups have at least one female co-founder and in only 10% of all startup cases, the co-founder and CEO is female. In addition, the average investment round size of female co-founded startups is much lower than the average of male-only teams. This fact seems surprising since a study by BCG* shows that startups with at least one female founder perform better. But the 2019 year might come with new records. This year has already seen 10 unicorn female-founded startups in less than six months. In comparison, 2018 saw 12 female-founded unicorns in the whole year**.
