Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Sport Horizon Holding?
A scientific committee for investment — comprising football executive Giorgio Chiellini, venture capitalist Tony Ihander, designer Fabrizio Giugiaro, sport-marketing operator Juli Ferre Nadal, tennis agent Ugo Colombini, and private-banking specialist Paolo Zaglia — advises the board on target selection. Operational leadership sits with founder-chairman Romy Gai, CEO Beniamino Savio, and CFO Dario Montagnese.
Does Sport Horizon Holding participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm runs its own club-deal vehicle and makes direct early-stage investments. There is no public evidence that it commits to third-party funds; the disclosed activity centers on seed and start-up rounds directly negotiated by the investment committee.
Which sectors does Sport Horizon Holding explicitly avoid?
No negative sector screens are published. The disclosed portfolio and committee expertise point toward sportstech, insurtech, entertainment, fashion, foodtech, and healthcare — but the firm has not formally excluded any vertical.
How is Sport Horizon Holding related to AWE International Group and 1 Caffè onlus?
Romy Gai founded AWE International Group in 2015 and still serves as President; it operates as a closely affiliated entity to the holding company. 1 Caffè onlus is a nonprofit co-founded by CEO Beniamino Savio, separate from the firm’s investment activities.
