Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Feel Venture?
Executive Director and Fund Manager Inti Paolucci leads and supervises overall firm activity, including investment decisions. The investment team includes CFO Antonio Baccari, investor Valentina Tranquilli, and Giorgio Barbaglia, who leads sourcing and investor relations. Each team member also sources deals and actively supports specific portfolio companies.
How does Feel Venture source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's LP community — comprised of Italian SMEs, family businesses, and established entrepreneurs — actively refers investment opportunities. Members also participate in monthly events and ad-hoc collaborations that surface new startups. This turns the LP base into a structured origination channel across the Italian entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Does Feel Venture operate as a single-family office or a traditional venture firm?

What check size and stage does Feel Venture target?
Feel Venture focuses on Seed and Series-A rounds for tech-enabled startups with proven traction. The firm states it targets companies moving toward revenue and profitability and provides targeted financial support alongside hands-on operational involvement.
Which sectors does Feel Venture actively avoid?
The firm's disclosed investment criteria are positive rather than exclusionary. It focuses on digital transformation, disruptive technology, sustainable business models, and teams with high ambition and scale potential. No explicit sector exclusions are stated publicly.
How are Feel Venture's LPs involved beyond providing capital?
LPs are integrated into the firm's value-creation model. They contribute industry expertise, form business partnerships with portfolio companies, and can co-invest alongside the fund. The firm describes this as creating 'business synergies and new market opportunities' between established Italian industry and new technology ventures.
Where does Feel Venture's capital under management come from?
The firm's capital base is drawn from a community of Italian small and medium-sized enterprises, established entrepreneurs, family businesses, and other real-economy participants. It does not disclose a total AUM figure or individual LP identities publicly.
