I am Claudio Colombo: investor, innovator, ecosystem builder, and storyteller. My journey has been shaped by a deep belief in the power of entrepreneurship and technology to create lasting impact. From building communities and digital ventures to launching startup ecosystems and venture capital initiatives, I have dedicated my career to supporting founders and accelerating sustainable innovation. Today, my focus is on empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors in ClimateTech, while sharing knowledge and insights through education and storytelling.

A bold step that opened my world to international opportunities, diverse cultures, and innovation. London became the place where I challenged myself, expanded my vision, and embraced a global mindset.

I first met Barbara in August 2015, and from the very beginning, we just clicked. Our values and visions aligned effortlessly, and I knew I had found not only my partner in life but also in creativity. Marrying Barbara in 2017 marked the beginning of a new chapter together, one built on love, trust, and a shared vision for the future, both personally and professionally.
Started an ecosystem builder to support founders, accelerate startups, and drive entrepreneurship in Italy. With it’s campus, I aimed to create a bridge between talent, investors, and opportunities.
The most transformative moment of my life was becoming the father of twins, which taught me purpose on a whole new level. Parenthood deepened my motivation to build a lasting tomorrow.
