Frequently asked questions

How does Qreative source proprietary deal flow?

Bottesini’s role as a contract professor of Digital Communication at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore provides a direct pipeline to academic and student-originated startups. Additionally, the firm’s deep ties to Blacksheep Ventures co-founders and co-investors like Roberto Nicastro extend its reach into the Italian entrepreneurial and banking communities.

What is Qreative’s known posture on co-investments alongside external investors?

Qreative actively co-invests. It has deployed capital alongside Roberto Nicastro, the founder of Banca AideXa, in at least one seed round. The Blacksheep Ventures syndicate itself is a co-investment structure pooling resources from its four co-founders, and it routinely brings in external operators like Nicastro.
