OpenCoffee and Italy. Part 2 and good news.

Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Business, Italy, OpenCoffee

I was quite happy when I read this post on Marco Barulli’s blog. As he said on his comment to is italy ready for opencoffee? he went to an OpenCoffee meeting in London, where he demoed the wonderful Clipperz, and the response has been quite favorable.

This is just a small piece of evidence that adds to all the evidence I have about a simple but true statement: “Italy is ready for venture capital yet no one does anything”.

Will we ever be able to solve this problem? Live and see.

    There is no investment ecosystem in Italy. Yes, we can host an OpenCoffee, but the investors will all be “imported”.

    For now, Italian startups just have to budget in a few trips to the UK if they are serious about attracting investors.

    Cheers,

    That’s true. I hope Marco will be a trendsetter and help Italian startups meet foreign investors.
