🇮🇹 Vs 🇳🇱 - Top Funded Sectors in 2024 😳 Since Q1 just passed, it’s interesting to have a quick look at the numbers of these two ecosystems. To do so, together with Nicola, key figure in the Italian startup scene, we started by having an overview of European countries by VC investment in Q1 2024. Then, we analyzed the top funded sectors in the Italian and Dutch ecosystems up to this year’s Q1. 🇮🇹 Italian venture capital investment is currently tracking above all previous years in 2024 and with a focus on the following sectors: 📡 Enterprise 👩‍💻 Software 👩‍⚕️ Health 🤖 Robotics 🇳🇱 Investment is up 2.2x year on year. The Dutch VC landscape has been mainly focusing on: 💰 Fintech 🥗 Food 👩‍⚕️ Health 🚆 Transportation Although three out of four sectors are different, health is 3rd in both ecosystems. And this is only up to the end of Q1. What are your thoughts on the next Qs of 2024? ------ If you’re also passionate about innovation, let’s connect Davide Rapida'🚀

🚀 Exciting news for the Italian startup ecosystem! 🇮🇹 The Italian Founders Fund has just launched its second venture capital fund with $50 million in capital commitments, focused on early-stage startups with global ambitions. This is a significant increase from their first fund of $20 million, which supported 15 innovative startups since its inception in 2020. Having witnessed the rise of many talented Italian entrepreneurs, I truly believe in the potential of Italy's rich entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Italian Founders Fund is looking for startups with a strong team, clear vision, and scalable business models, spanning sectors like technology, healthcare, and consumer goods. This new fund aims not just at supporting early-stage innovation but also at backing later-stage companies that have already shown promising success. 🌱📈 As an entrepreneur, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial early support and investment can be. This initiative will undoubtedly help Italian startups compete on a global scale and achieve their ambitious goals. Here are a few questions for my network: ❓ Are you seeing a surge in Italian tech and startup innovations? ❓ What sectors do you think have the most potential in Italy right now? ❓ Founders, what kind of support do you value most from venture funds? Let’s support global ambitions from local roots! 🌍🇮🇹 #startup #venturecapital #innovation #Italy #entrepreneurship #globalambitions #tech #healthcare #consumergoods Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments. 💬👥 Be sure to check out the Italian Founders Fund for more details.
