Value creator, venture capital

We invest where few dare to

We are one of the few players in Italy dedicated to the pre-seed stage in digital health. We invest in Italian and international startups and work alongside founders on the ground, not only with capital.

How we invest See the portfolio

Our approach

We do not collect shareholdings. We build an ecosystem.

Startups connect with each other, share technical expertise and grow together. Every new investment makes all the others stronger.

Four steps, six weeks at most.

Beyond capital

What you need after the capital.

Padda Town is the network of professionals that works alongside our startups. Not generalist consultants: people who know the healthcare sector and its constraints.

What makes us different

A small structure is an advantage, not a limit.

We decide quickly

No endless committees. From the first call to the final decision it takes 4-6 weeks, not months.

We stay close

We work alongside founders on the ground, directly or through our network of partners. We are not an investor who disappears once the money is transferred.

We look worldwide

We invest in Italian and international startups. The problem you solve matters more than where you are based.

We know healthcare

Reimbursement, clinical validation, CE marking, market access: in healthcare these are the walls that stop good projects.

Let us talk

We would be glad to meet you.
