Club Italia Investimenti

What is Club Italia Investimenti?

Club Italia Investimenti 2 (CII2) is a Milan-based investment company specialized in venture capital.

Founded in 2013 by a group of entrepreneurs linked to the world of innovation and investments in promising young companies with high technological content, CII2 originally adopted an investment model that involves an initial entry into the capital of a large number of very young startups, acquiring about 10% of the shares in exchange for an investment ranging from €25,000 to €100,000.

These funds are primarily for financing the product/service prototyping phase developed by the companies.

Once they enter into the capital, CII2 supports these companies in seeking further investments by presenting them with the first metrics and validating the business model with initial customers.

The current strategy of CII2 is to map the most promising companies from the portfolio built in the first stage of investment and continue to support the growth of these companies.

Their portfolio comprises 25 companies operating in various sectors including E-commerce, Fintech, Logistics, Mobility, and Software & Applications.

They assist startups in raising seed funding ranging from €150,000 to €500,000, helping them to validate their business plan and achieve initial KPI milestones, secure contracts, and build a growing customer base.

CII2 collaborates with web crowdfunding platform SiamoSoci to provide visibility to startups from their inception and ensure investors have full, transparent information.

Their approach includes selecting ventures through Accelerators with whom they have signed Memorandums of Understanding, whereby CII2 acquires 10% of the stakes by investing €50,000. The goal is to complete prototypes or set up services and to acquire first customers.

They have a passion for supporting various industries, as evidenced by their eclectic portfolio that features companies like Unguess in mobile service quality, Vino.com in the digital wine distribution, Kiwi Campus in food delivery via robotics and machine learning, and many more across different sectors.
