How did you manage to IPO on the Nasdaq as a European unicorn founder? "Because they said we couldn't do it". 🦄💥 Always so grateful to hear our LP and superstar founder Claudio Erba share gold nuggets on his founder journey. More than half a decade to hit that first million and then taking off to HUNDREDS of millions in revenue. Unicorn valuation. IPO in Canada and on the Nasdaq. 🔔 And all this without ever uprooting Docebo from its Italian 🇪🇺 origins. Loads of lessons for both entrepreneurs and investors, which 30 LPs and Super Angels in Turin got the chance to hear live at the Italian Tech Week official invite-only LP side event. Co-hosted by Exceptional Ventures with the very exceptional Paolo Pio showing some insightful data on the future of health and longevity in tech, and Silicon Roundabout Ventures where I talked, of course, about Deeptech. It was great to finally catch up in person with some of our backers and celebrate after the final closing of our 1st fund. And to discover that 1) Italy is finally stepping into venture capital, and 2) that LPs and Family Offices from all over Europe are keen to learn about new trends from both new managers and tech entrepreneurs. Also thanks to our friend Simon Menashy for joining us and helping us with the dinner :) ... til the next one! Needless to say, if you're a Family Office or HNW LP and would like to be invited to upcoming events like these: drop me a DM here! #deeptech #venturecapital #limitedpartners #familyoffices #angelinvesting
Happy to hear that Italy is stepping up! Forza Italia!:)
Claudio Erba is a wonderful founder and Docebo a brilliant company. Sounds like a great evening of Italian delights.....
Congratulations for a very successful event. Kudos to Francesco Perticarari Silicon Roundabout Ventures and Paolo Pio Exceptional Ventures. When next?
