The beauty in Innovation is its capability to bridge different cultures, geographic regions and business sectors, it creates a universal common ground, something relevant to everyone, making people feel better, creates opportunities and acting as the fabric on which we can all collaborate to create a better future; or as we call it, a global innovation ecosystem. Big thanks to StartupItalia and Chiara Buratti for the opportunity to share the power and possibilities of human innovation.

💭 Until a few years ago I had no idea what a #startup was, today I work for one of the most prominent Italian #VC. 🍀 Coming from a completely different background I was unaware of how the #innovation ecosystem worked - back then baby vc had not yet landed in Italy - and my story was mostly driven by luck. ‼ Outside of this VC bubble, most people have no idea of what we do, and those who are curious find it hard to get answers. 💡 I am no investor (and love to work on the platform side of VC - another mystery for most), but I strongly believe that if you want to be one, you should be able to become one. 💥 So, let's all work to make this VC world a little more #accessible and #inclusive! Everyone should have agency on their future. (check out baby vc's mission https://www.babyvc.co/) 🔋 If you are a stakeholder of the innovation ecosystem and wants to collaborate, don't hesitate to reach out! The second Italian bootcamp is coming...

🇪🇺 Full room at the InvestEU workshop last night hosted by CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) and CDP Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, where I was glad to join the panel discussion. My key takeaways: ✅ InvestEU is a success: in spite of the complexity and the delays experienced, the instrument now delivers on key objectives: (1) open access to public banks across the #EU at European and national levels is now a reality, (2) additionality and market demand are strong and (3) the policy-driven approach bears fruit with key #strategicinvestments supported across the EU. Not an easy balance to find across objectives that can sometimes be contradictory - yet, it works! ✅ Financial capacity is a big issue: more than 85% of the EU guarantee is now allocated while the programme runs until 2027… Innovative ways to adjust the budget are being explored, but there is an urgent need to find budgetary solutions to ensure the programme is not disrupted or discontinued; ✅ InvestEU, across its 4 policy windows, is more relevant than ever, at a time where the EU institutions explore how to address #competitiveness of our economy. Under the next MFF, effectiveness of #InvestEU could be enhanced by streamlining processes and embedding the programme into the bigger competitiveness agenda. Building on what has been achieved to date, especially in the design of the instrument, will be crucial to ensure potential of the programme is used at its fullest. For more insight on where we stand with InvestEU, have a look at the evaluation report: https://lnkd.in/eMEw3FWg Thank you 🙏🏻 cinzia alcidi Martina Colombo and Elena Flores for framing the discussion and thanks to my co-panelists Sophie Barbier Vitomir Miles Raguz Francesco Mele Svetoslava Georgieva Fabio Pammolli Andreas Kopp Andreja Kodrin Suzanne Wisse - Huiskes Susanne Götz-Hollweger Eriks Atvars Vicky D.

Fortune Favors the Bold, but It Won't Protect the Impulsive: The Price of Disruptive Change at X Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, Inc., now "X", was intended to revolutionize #socialmedia. However, after investing $44 billion, the platform’s valuation has plunged over 78%, according to Fidelity Investments. This decline highlights how impulsive decisions can erode user and investor confidence. Here’s what went wrong: - Advertisers Fled: Concerns over content moderation and platform stability caused advertisers, the main revenue source, to leave - Business Model Change: Shifting to a subscription-based model (Twitter Blue) confused users and diminished trust - Rebranding to X: The rebranding alienated loyal users, creating identity confusion - Mass Layoffs: Firing a significant portion of the staff, including key engineers, compromised reliability - Debt Pressure: The $13 billion debt burden further strained the company’s financial health Maintaining the status quo rarely leads to growth, but making drastic, poorly calculated changes is also not always a winning strategy. X serves as a reminder that bold moves must be balanced with caution and sustainability to secure long-term success. https://lnkd.in/dmrYqF72 #X #Twitter #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #DisruptiveChange

💥 Yesterday we announced a significant milestone with the launch of the Italian Founders Fund. We've gathered a community of over 100 founders and entrepreneurs who have come together to support the next generation of founders with a €50m fund. It's really exciting to see how much support there is for the next generation. Since I started to cover the 🇮🇹 Italian market with Global Founders Capital 3 years ago, I've witnessed so much development.I've met many talented individuals and ambitious new founders who are building the next generation of tech companies, and Italians across the VC landscape (Italians in VC). The pay-it-forward model from experienced founders towards the new generation has been essential in many ecosystems, and we aim to deliver it in Italy with significant impact. Founders are at the heart of what we're building in IFF. We look forward to collaborating with many angels, local investors and supporting the increasing interest from foreign investors. We also aim to support Italian founders abroad and foreign ventures looking to enter the Italian market. More details on our website and press in comments below.

I am excited to announce that I have joined Bocconi University for a Master of Science in Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology. Returning to Milan, where my education began at la scuola materna, feels like coming full circle. I am thrilled to be part of Bocconi's vibrant international community. This opportunity will allow me to deepen my understanding of how economics and management drive technological advancements, equipping me with the skills to make a meaningful impact in this dynamic field. Joining this program after my engineering degree feels like a natural progression. It will broaden my perspective by combining technical skills with insights into the economic and business aspects of technology.
