Investment Thesis

The Techshop believes that technological progress is the primary driver of human growth and societal well-being. They operate from the conviction that early-stage software investing is one of the few segments where Italian VCs can compete globally. The firm is built on the belief that Italy possesses an ‘unfair advantage’ in human capital due to innate curiosity, adaptability, and a tradition of talented professionals bringing technological and business expertise back home. They combine patient capital with hands-on operational support to help founders scale from seed stage through internationalization.
