Vento implement a new fund worth 75 million euros for Italian founders, regardless of a place where they live

Over the past fifteen years or so, with the transformation of European investment capital into higher equipment, one of the ways to help the nation’s ecosystems was to invest in the founders of that country, regardless of where it was residing. This would help in re -photographing entrepreneurship in the country. In Europe, the approach was partially pioneer by Paris Kima Ventures. Now, a new adventure company hopes to repeat this idea from Italy.

VentoIt is launched one of the most private VCS VCS in Italy, by operating its second fund, which has been kept with a capacity of 75 million euros, specifically to support the founders of Italian startups at home and abroad.

The Strip of the Stroke of the Organizers grew up Italian Technology Week,, Which was held annually in Turin, which hosted the likes of Sam Danan, Red Hoffman, and Elon Musk, among others.

This event was originally launched by Fiat Family Scion John Elkann, Chairman of the Vento Board of Directors, but he is also the chairman of Stelantis Board of Directors (the parent company of FIAT) and Exor (the Holding Company of the Agnelli family, which controls FIAT and other assets).

It is understood for a person from his position, ELKANN has an extensive network in Europe and Silicon Valley, which helps in bringing to ITW. Therefore, there may be no coincidence that the Ventu’s Investment Committee includes the veterans of the technology industry such as Diego Petchenini and Mike Volby (previously from the Vittshes) and Jean de la Roshbrocard. Ironically, Rochbrochaard recently joined the same KIMA projects that Vento hopes to simulate, after they were controversially controversial. Removed From Newwave, French project clothes, last year.

So far, Vento has already invested in 100 startups including Bee, Jethr and Qomodo. The company said that the second fund is planning to invest in 375 investments over five years.

“Italy is completely late for other European countries, but we believe that the path is the same. For this reason we do this. The Italian Technology Week is a way to bring people from outside Italy, from one side, to push the amazing investors to meet the Italian founders and see the capabilities of the Italian ecosystem, And the inspiration of talent in Italy to build their own companies.

“There is no shortage of capital. It is a shortage of companies, but we only need some success stories, then the entire budget wheel is launched, and we will see what we have seen in France,” D’Ani added.

The Italian Technology Week is useful in this strategy, allowing Vento to evaluate more than 3,500 startups that apply to this event, while maintaining a 2.5 % selective transfer rate with a unified ticket size of 150,000 euros, and with some follow -up investments.

But what is the problem with the former Italian technology founders who felt this box would make it?

“When we launched the first Finto box in 2022, we realized that Italy’s technological capabilities and entrepreneurship were greatly deprived.”

“Italian founders have always shown exceptional … the spirit of entrepreneurship, but the ecosystem was not there. Vento was created to address this gap by providing not only capital, but a comprehensive platform that combines direct investment, project building and network development through the Italian Technology Week.”

However, the Italian company’s law is often less suitable for startup founders compared to the American or American company vehicles. Is it expected that startups will be Vento’s money, is Italy or be inappropriate?

He said: “Our primary commitment is to identify the exceptional Italian founders and support them in the global entrepreneurial journey.” “Italy is making great steps to become increasingly competitive in the international scene of technology, and we are confident that these organizational differences between countries will become less relevant soon.”

To be fair, the technical scene in Italy improves. according to Chamber’s room dataThe total investment capital investment in Italian startups amounted to 5.72 billion dollars during the past five years (2020 to 2024), an increase of more than three times over the previous five years, when it amounted to only $ 1.7 billion.

“We already have a network of founders outside Italy who send the United States deals, as well as small Italian societies in New York, London, Berlin and Paris, among others.”
