ADVISORY

For VC Fund Managers

I support venture capital (VC) and corporate venture capital (CVC) managers in strengthening their strategies, building credibility with LPs, and operating with excellence. My approach is flexible, leveraging different engagement models, including serving as General Partner (GP), Fractional Operating Partner, Project-Based, Retainer Advisory, and in select cases Equity/Carry Share, to adapt to each manager’s needs and stage.

Fundraising Strategy (LP Relations)

I help position funds for LPs by crafting compelling storytelling, impact theses, and differentiators. Together we build pitch decks, data rooms, and investor communications while structuring capital-raising strategies across family offices, corporates, and institutional LPs. Many emerging managers don’t know how to sell themselves to LPs, I help them bridge that gap.

Investment Strategy & Thesis Design (VC and CVC)

I support managers in defining or refining their investment thesis (sector, stage, geography), building frameworks for deal selection and portfolio construction, and integrating impact in a credible way. Having already built this playbook with NextSTEP, I bring practical and proven insights.

Ecosystem & Deal Flow Access

I connect funds with accelerators, universities, corporates, and international startup networks across Italy, the UK, and the EU. I also set up strategic partnerships with other VCs for syndications, enabling managers to expand their deal flow and strengthen their ecosystem presence.

Operational Excellence & Venture Building

I support managers in building internal processes for scouting, due diligence, and portfolio reporting. I also share models for venture building programs, helping managers become hands-on, value-add investors rather than just financiers.

Branding & Thought Leadership

I help funds position themselves in the market through branding, communications, and content strategies. This includes building a differentiated identity that attracts both startups and LPs, as well as supporting GPs in developing a strong narrative that resonates internationally.
