WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
A FUND IS GOOD, A COMMUNITY IS EVEN BETTER
We are here to help founders succeed. We’re founder-friendly because we were facing the same challenges not long ago. Now we want our time, experience and resources to work towards supporting a new generation of entrepreneurs. People are more important than money: we focus on the best founders and teams.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR AMBITION, NOT A RÉSUMÉ
We want to help build an inclusive startup ecosystem, open to anybody. Great leaders reveal themselves over time, growing with their companies. We are willing to share our relationships, our resources, our knowledge with those we see turning into the best founders. We know that entrepreneurship is not for everyone and strive to put scarce resources in the right hands.
THOSE THAT GO FAR, GO TOGETHER
We’ve all started from somewhere, but our goals are global. Impactful growth will come from spending time with the right people, consistently sharing opportunities and knowledge.
WORK HARD AND ENJOY IT
We’ve built the Italian Founders Fund because we like what we’re doing. It’s not just a job. We’re here to learn from each other and change the world, making money while doing so. Every day we want to be open, proactive and having a lot of fun.
Our team
