Intesa SanPaolo Innovation Center is the corporate and startup innovation center by Intesa SanPaolo, an Italian-HQed banking giant. One of their initiatives is called Startup Initiative, in which they support tech startups and scaleups of their client network or from their ecosystem to grow.
Since Intesa SanPaolo Innovation Center was looking to add partners that were focused on supporting tech startups on growth and go-to-market that would be generalist enough to handle all of their verticals, have strong knowledge of the local and regional ecosystem, but had international experience, networks, and exposure.
We joined the Intesa SanPaolo Innovation Center partner network as tech venture growth experts, providing support in dozens of internally pitching sessions, being a sparring partner and providing actionable insights and tools to improve the growth cases of the 700+ portfolio companies across all industries.
