Frequently asked questions
How does You Can Group source its investment opportunities?
The group's pipeline flows directly from the Future Food Institute, a global education and research nonprofit also founded by Sara Roversi. Startups pass through Institute accelerator programs, research collaborations, and policy initiatives — including work with the FAO — before the investment arm selects ventures for commercial backing. This creates a proprietary screening layer that generic food-tech funds cannot replicate.
What is the relationship between You Can Group and the Future Food Institute?
The two entities share a founder in Sara Roversi and operate in tight coordination. The Institute functions as a nonprofit innovation and education platform; You Can Group is the for-profit investment vehicle that capitalizes companies emerging from the Institute's ecosystem. Their offices, program partners, and network relationships overlap significantly.
Who makes investment decisions at You Can Group?
Founders Sara Roversi and Andrea Magelli lead the group, though the firm has not publicly detailed its investment committee structure. The circle of early collaborators includes Wish Days and Impactscool co-founders Andrea Dusi and Cristina Pozzi, who appear as co-investors and advisors rather than full-time principals.
