Grafoventures is a venture capital firm based in Milan, Italy, specializing in the later stages of company development within the information and communications technology industry. They focus primarily on technology-enabled service sectors across Southern Europe. Since their establishment in 2011 by Giandomenico Sica, they have successfully initiated and promoted five merger and acquisition (M&A)-driven entrepreneurial ventures, all of which have achieved stock exchange listings and have become significant players in their respective niches. Their portfolio includes over 700 employees and a cumulative market capitalization of over USD 250 million. Grafoventures is active in asset management, using proprietary funds to invest in promising Small Caps, particularly those with strong key performance indicators such as dynamic growth, sound margins, moderate leverage, and effective cash flow. They favor companies that are led by experienced entrepreneurs and are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. Their investment strategy involves identifying firms that are not yet recognized as market favorites. Throughout their history, Grafoventures has achieved several key milestones, including multiple successful IPOs, numerous acquisitions, and strategic mergers to establish leaders in various technological domains. Notable ventures and projects they have engaged with include DHH, a Southeast European internet platform; Icona Technology, a company advancing post-sale services in the digital realm; and Creactives Group, leveraging artificial intelligence in procurement. They have also been involved with pioneer companies in marketing technology and digital business incubation. The core team includes Founder and Managing Partner Giandomenico Sica and Operations Manager Viviana Sica, supported by a multi-disciplinary remote team. Grafoventures upholds a commitment to scaling tech companies through strategic M&A transactions and is recognized as a registered trademark owned by Giandomenico Sica.
