Why Partner with Us?

[01]

As partners with CatholicTech, we can offer access to research facilities, faculty, and technically proficient graduates as you expand your operations.

[02]

Because we are split between Italy and the United States, we can offer startups in either country advice and access to a more global market.

[03]

For Italian startups in particular, we are working closely with the CDP, and can help set up further growth opportunities with them.

[04]

As a Catholic group, we will gladly offer advice on ethical matters, as well as following strict ethical principles ourselves in all our interactions.

[05]

We are a “founder-friendly” group—our goal is to help you grow, and benefit alongside you. This is not particularly common in venture capital; often funds are extremely cutthroat and self-centered. Because of our ethical code, we stand out from the crowd as a partner which seeks the good of our other partners.

What We Look For

Fundamentally, we are looking for businesses that have a high probability of success. In keeping with that, we have a few main criteria:

[01]
Market

There needs to be a market for what you’re selling. This means not only demand, but a marketable product that can be sold without twisting any arms.

[02]
Management

We believe the best way to come to know a startup is to know its founder. We are looking for driven, responsible, and ethical founders who have a vision of where they want to be and a plan to get there. A founder such as this is discerning, not only in their hiring, but also in who they partner with and how they value their own work.

[03]
Model

Finally, your revenue model is crucial. We are not looking for a flash in the pan, but rather companies that want to reshape their industry and, ultimately, become one of the top players in their field.
