As a financial investor in Paris between 2016 and 2019, I could assess the growth of the French startup ecosystem both with the rise of projects but also an increasing amount of funds invested in early stage investment vehicles. Since I have started to live in Milan in 2020, I have noticed that the amount and the quality of the innovative projects are comparable to the French ones but there is a gap in terms of financing.
Therefore I have decided to create a media which aims to highlight Italian startups and make them grow in Europe.
To grow, a company – and especially a startup – needs financial but also human ressources. Thus the targets of the media are international investors and talents that could contribute to the development of the Italian startups highlighted by the media.
I have decided to call the media “Welcome” because the goal is to bring international investors and employees aboard the companies and go together on new markets.
