Investors in Software

We are an early-stage VC dedicated to investing in technology companies that have the potential to enable or disrupt major industries. Our strategy centers on getting involved early, primarily focusing on Seed stages, with occasional Series A initial investments.

The Techshop is a new asset management company dedicated to Venture Capital. The first Fund will invest in radical B2B, digital and early stage innovations. The Techshop was born from the desire to amplify our contribution to Italian technological and entrepreneurial development. Over the last 10 years, we have observed how new digital companies have become the main vectors of innovation in the industrial fabric of leading nations and how crucial the “Early Stage” stage is in the acceleration process of startups. This role of digital has strengthened during the economic and social crisis caused by the pandemic and will be crucial for the restart of the global production system. Our recipe is based on a careful selection of talented teams, to whom we will offer capital in increasing quantities and the tools of our “tech workshop”: mentorship, managerial support and access to a large pool of experts. In Digital, the success of a startup is determined by the quality and tenacity of the Founders: the team is the product. We aim to stimulate their potential, challenging them to think big and on a global scale.
