Backing the best Italian Founders, everywhere. Early-stage fund, Venture Building program, tech event @italiantechweek
Chi siamo
Wholly funded by Exor, we are Italy’s most active non-governmental early-stage fund. With our second fund, we are investing €75M to empower exceptional Italian founders globally. We are sector-agnostic and geography-independent. Beyond venture capital, we run two dedicated ecosystem initiatives. Venture Building is a 5-month intensive program designed to turn ambitious individuals into successful founders. We select participants who don’t yet have a team or an idea and help them find the right co-founders and real problems worth solving. The program runs once a year, from January to June, and requires full-time relocation to Turin. During the first 12 weeks, founders receive a €3,750 grant provided by Fondazione Compagnia di Sanpaolo. After that, we invest €80,000 for 10% equity in the most promising teams. Italian Tech Week is one of Europe’s most influential tech gatherings, bringing together 15,000+ attendees from over 50 countries in 2024. It features exclusive discussions with top tech leaders and visionaries, curated masterclasses led by successful founders and operators, engaging side events across Turin, and a networking platform designed to create meaningful connections.

Here we go again. It’s that time. Which one? That one. The time when we tell you that you can pre-register for #ITW25. What happens if you don’t? You might miss the chance to know before anyone else when registrations officially open. And that’s kind of a big deal. Pre-register here > https://tally.so/r/w71KVa

Week 8: honeymoon's over! 😬 The “it’s quite easy and fun” feeling wears off, and the real grind begins. Innovation? Messy. Frustrating. But hey, finding the right problem to solve isn’t easy. After a few pivots and some ice cream crisis, Davide Maria Giacomini’s team is still pushing forward. No problem solved yet, but they’re definitely on the right track! 🔥 Wanna know more?

What’s the moral of the story? That you should come build in Italy? Maybe. That you shouldn’t give up at the first hurdle if you want to create something big? Definitely. That Italy is ready to close the gap with other European countries when it comes to the startup ecosystem? Absolutely. That you have to come to Italian Tech Week? Well, obviously. Watch the full story. Thanks, Marcin Lewandowski, for sharing this fun story in Torino! Diyala D'Aveni Michela Andreolli Arke Italian Tech Week

Lexroom.ai: found guilty of making legal work smarter with generative AI. Born within Vento, the startup founded by Martina Domenicali, Paolo Fois, and Andrea Lonza has just raised a €2M round led by Entourage, with us on board alongside Verve Ventures, Banyan Ventures, and FNDX. Proud of this milestone and massive kudos to the team for their relentless work so far. But one thing’s certain for them: the best is yet to come. 🚀
