what we are

A STARTUP FACTORY

We are a "Startup Factory". What characterizes us is that we are based on a proprietary process of business creation: from conception to prototyping, from financing to product construction, to go-to-market, to scaling. Our Venture Studio is a real springboard for the Startups that leave our Studios, and an investment opportunity in selected Startups guaranteed by our know-how and validated. method.

" We were born inventors and we have created products used by millions of people and successful Startups. We believe in the value of intellectual property to consolidate the value of the startups we create from scratch in our laboratories, offering our investors solid opportunities based on concrete assets capable of scaling with confidence. In FoolFarm we create patents and always give them to every Startup, increasing their value: 1 patent in Every Startup, ever. This is our promise."

OUR OWN STARTUP STUDIO'S STRATEGY

Building startups around new patents, ever

Our products are the result of our ability to constantly develop R&D and patents, the result of previous experience and our DNA as successful inventors in the various business sectors in which we have operated. We identify market gaps and constantly develop new algorithms to create unique products quickly with a perfect product-market fit and creating high value. We believe in the value of intellectual property as a fundamental element to increase and consolidate the value of a new startup. This allows the investment to start immediately with excellent market valuations thanks to the intellectual property assets that we insert in the Startup and to scale in value compared to other ventures and reduce the risk of failure.

OUR DIFFERENT MODEL

THE VENTURE BUILDER model differences

Compared to a “classic” startup creation or to standard startup incubation or acceleration models, a startup studio approach aims at gaining two key advantages:

  • Lowering and mitigating a startup’s risk of failure
  • Enhancing the quality

 

Such advantages allow:

  • Investors to approach the startup world with a new type of investment and diversification strategy, going beyond the classic diversification tactics.
  • Enterprises to become industry partners of the studio, nurturing a hub of new startups. Those can be acquired at favourable conditions and be more easily integrated in a company’s technical and business processes.
  • Wannabe founders to build an enterprise in a “controlled environment”, learning on the job how to be a successful entrepreneur.
Innovators and Risk Takers

We not only invest we co-found

We do not limit ourselves to investing in a Startup: we want to be partners from the beginning and found it together with the entrepreneur. We want to be the "co-founders". This is the difference between an incubator or accelerator and a Venture Studio like FoolFarm: we are "Risk Takers" ready to participate in corporate risk through direct and indirect co-investment of capital, resources and infrastructure.
