WHAT WE ARE

WE ARE A VENTURE BUILDER

We are founders, investors and serial entrepreneurs, we are passionate about open innovation, fanatic about lean startup, experts in AI & Blockchain technology, user experience and digital marketing. Our approach is different from incubators and accelerators: we do not limit ourselves to supporting already formed startups, but we are co-founders of all our initiatives. When we invest, co-found or incubate a company it will have the opportunity to benefit from our experience and proven ability to build startups. 

We provide a centralized mix of services to all our venture-backed startups, from software development to go-to-market and mentorships from our Corporate Community. Our strength lies in the experience of its core team and the skillset of its professional network. These enable us to actively support the development of our startups in all foundational areas, so we can successfully accompany every new project.

We have a 100+ Angel Investors community called Foolfarm Community. Thanks to it our collective network and reach is massive to connect any Startups with the right Customers, Partners and Investors at the right time.

We support our Startups in the Hr recruiting process.We help match our startups with the needed talent making some of the difficult hiring processes easy.

We rely on a proprietary Venture Building process for the construction of a Startup called BeFOOL, with predefined times and steps aimed for maximum and fast success rate. Our team of founders and subject matter experts follows our validated Venture Building method to create unique, scalable and exquisitely winning solutions.

We support our Startups with a highly experienced legal team capable of accompanying them from the moment of birth, to the first investment moment, to M&A and Exit. Operating as a partner and not as a consultant. We also help Startups to build IPs and to have an intellectual property culture that can make a difference when it's time to exit.

We host our Startups for free in our Innovation Hub, over 500 square meters of creativity in the industrial heart of Milan.

OUR METHOD

BE FOOL is our exclusive venture building method

We strongly believe that success for a startup is not reached by chance or luck, but is the result of expertise, methodology and resources. Foolfarm invented BeFOOL, a venture building proprietary method, which turns a startup idea into a successful business like no others designed to reduce the risk of startup failure, and to enhance the quality of the startups produced.

OUR VENTURE BUILDING PHASES

ideation & selection

In our laboratories we are constantly developing new algorithms, prototypes and patents. Around the best we create new concepts and business ideas, we analyze the market and new trends. In the end we choose the best idea around which to build a new Startup.

DEVELOPMENT & investment

We create a dedicated team and in a maximum of three / four months we build a company from scratch: from the mockup to the business plan, from the customer experience to the market strategy. We select a Virtual Ceo who will accompany the Startup until Investor Day.

BUILD & traction

Once the first funds have been collected, we create a team that works alongside the Virtual Ceo as if it were the Startup team. We develop the MVP and we begin to evangelize the market by leveraging our super network based on our Community The Fooler Club and on the Spark business unit which proposes the Startup on large companies to develop the first POCs. In this phase which lasts 12 months, the Startup will have to demonstrate traction and complete the product to present itself to a new Investor Day.

growth & Scale

As the business develops we provide formal support from our Venture Builder Services and Investment teams to help the company with core functions, strategic advice and funding support, including access to our base of international investors up to accompanying it to Round A where FoolFarm usually reduces its minority stake or aims to exit.
