Anyone interested in a specific project — independently or because they were introduced by a founder as Family & Friends — can propose an investment and negotiate its terms directly with the founder and the Venture Builder.
There are no fixed-terms investment rounds. Every proposal is tied to a specific project: it's first evaluated by that project's founder, who knows their own network better than anyone — the most natural path remains an investor introduced directly by them. Founder and VB negotiate the terms for inclusion in the project together, through Participatory Financial Instruments (SFP) or SAFE agreements. No notarial deed at the fundraising stage: participation is governed by a private agreement that protects the investor and defines the stake, conditions and timeline. The notarial act is deferred to the incorporation of the company at spinoff.
The most common investment proposals range up to €50,000. The capital is entirely dedicated to the project, with two exceptions only: legal and formalization expenses, and taxation on the investment itself.
Thanks to the efficiency of the VB Technology Asset, the share absorbed by software development is reduced: the capital mainly covers bringing the MVP to market.
Advertising and sales expenses to acquire the first customers.
Support and services other than the VB: Claude costs, AI models, other third-party providers.
Any personnel costs, including compensation to the founder/originator.
Fundraising preparation activities and costs to guide the project toward corporate spinoff or a pre-exit path.
Spinoff happens when investors or a Venture Capital fund are interested in investing in the project and its MVP has become concrete — typically upon completion of the first capital-raising round. The project, with all its technology and commercial assets, is transferred into a new dedicated company, with the legal protections provided for minority shareholders.
A specific project, not a generic fund.
No notarial deed at fundraising: only SFP or SAFE.
Development and marketing handled internally by the VB.
The VB stays technology partner with a 20-50% stake after spinoff.
Incubation profits distributed by SFP/SAFE stake, even before incorporation (art. 2346.6 Civil Code).
Possible tax incentives for investments in innovative startups.
Through the form on this page, indicating the project of interest and the proposed capital amount: the proposal is first shared with that project's founder, who knows it better than anyone else.
No, not at the fundraising stage. Subscription happens through SFP or SAFE agreements governed by a private deed; the notary is only involved at company incorporation, at spinoff.
Through a direct negotiation phase, where the stake, conditions and timeline are defined before subscription.
Rights and protections are identical for the same amount invested. Family & Friends involvement instead reduces — down to zero — the service fee required from the founder.
They're distributed among investors in proportion to their SFP/SAFE stake, even before the company is incorporated: it's a patrimonial right granted by the subscribed instrument (art. 2346, para. 6, Italian Civil Code), not a corporate dividend in the technical sense.
The capital, used for development and go-to-market activities, is lost; the investor bears no liability beyond the invested capital.
When there are investors or a Venture Capital fund interested in investing in the project and its MVP has become concrete — typically upon completion of the first capital-raising round.
It remains an active technology partner with a 20-50% stake, ensuring continuity of development and product maintenance.
