Vento, a prominent Italian venture capital firm, is rolling out its second fund, capped at €75 million, aimed at supporting Italian startup founders regardless of their location. This initiative builds on the successful model of investing in homegrown entrepreneurs, similar to strategies used in other European nations. Led by notable figures, including John Elkann and a seasoned Investment Committee, Vento has already backed 100 startups and aims to make 375 investments in the next five years, positioning Italy’s entrepreneurial ecosystem for growth at events like Italian Tech Week.
Italy is quite behind compared to other European countries, but we think the trajectory is the same as the others. So that's why we're doing this.
Vento’s second fund, hard-capped at €75 million, specifically aims to back Italian startup founders both at home and abroad.
We have already invested in 100 startups including Bee, JetHR, and Qomodo, and Fund II plans to invest in 375 over five years.
Vento originated from the organizers of Italian Tech Week, which has hosted industry giants like Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
