“Our vision is to offer companies a great expertise and a deep knowledge in market instruments. This is reflected by the real added value which our portal brings to startups, as well as by the broad range of investments that our campaigns are able to attract”, explained Masserdotti.

Tip Ventures is focusing on diverse entrepreneurial early stage companies.  The startups range from Biomed to IoT and more, with a specific target for projects operating in the “Industry 4.0” sector.

The investment platform wants to steer the most promising enterprises through the initial – and most complicated – part of their growth process, and assist them through their first steps through the multiple opportunities offered by crowdfunding.

“The Made-In-Italy factor proved to be a strong leverage for the launch of this [ME Group] campaign, and it is something that Italian entrepreneurs should definitely take into consideration,” stated Masserdotti.
