Nova Ventures è il primo polo italiano interamente dedicato al pre-seed. Nata dalla fusione tra Open Seed e Seed Money, unisce capitale, competenze e rete per sostenere le startup italiane più promettenti fin dai primissimi passi. Abbiamo raccolto l’eredità di Open Seed, nata nel 2016 per sostenere giovani team e idee innovative, unendola all’esperienza di Seed Money negli investimenti early-stage e nello sviluppo di portafoglio. Nova Ventures va oltre il semplice investimento. Attiviamo un ecosistema generativo fatto di founder, mentor, investitori e corporate, tutti coinvolti in programmi verticali (PropTech, LifeTech, CreativeAI, Impact) disegnati per accelerare la crescita e creare connessioni reali tra startup e mercato. Con oltre 1.000 soci e una community di business angel chiamati Custodi, investiamo ogni anno in 20 startup early-stage, selezionate con metodo, accompagnate con strumenti, supportate da scaleup Maestri e aziende sponsor che credono nell’open innovation. Cosa facciamo concretamente: ✔️ Investiamo in startup italiane in fase pre-seed ✔️ Sviluppiamo programmi di accelerazione settoriali ✔️ Attiviamo co-investimenti con business angel e partner corporate ✔️ Creiamo valore condiviso lungo tutta la filiera dell’innovazione ✔️ Offriamo anche ai piccoli investitori l’opportunità di entrare nell’ecosistema Il veicolo di investimento è costituito nella forma di S.r.l. innovativa – Holding di Partecipazione – che raccoglie capitale dai soci per favorire l’incubazione e il successo delle startup selezionate.
