About 12VENTURES

- IDENTITY 12VENTURES IS A DE FACTO VENTURE PARTNERSHIP BASED IN VENICE (IT) AND ZURICH (CH), ESTABLISHED BY GIOVANNI FORLINI IN THE EARLY 2020S, INVOLVING SOME OF HIS FRIENDS AND FELLOW ENTREPRENEURS. 12VENTURES IS THE NATURAL EVOLUTION OF HIS CAREER AND EXPERIENCE AS A SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR, FOLLOWING NUMEROUS SUCCESSES IN THE SME SECTOR, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. ITS PURPOSE IS TO CREATE SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT AND ABLE TO HAVE A GREATER IMPACT ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSFORMATIVE, DISRUPTIVE, GROUNDBREAKING AND MOONSHOT COMPANIES. ALL RIGOROUSLY “PROUDLY MADE IN VENEZIA”. THE PARTNERSHIP CONSISTS OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF MOSTLY ITALIAN PRIVATE INVESTORS. THEY DECIDE FROM TIME TO TIME REGARDING EACH SELECTED PROJECT WHETHER TO INVEST AS A GROUP OR INDIVIDUALLY AND WHETHER AND WHICH OTHER INVESTORS/FUNDS TO INVOLVE. - VISION & MISSION 12VENTURES IS NOT THE USUAL VENTURE CAPITAL FUND THAT MAKES INVESTMENTS IN COMPANIES IN THE EARLY STAGES, WATCHING WHAT HAPPENS AND HOPING FOR A GOOD EXIT. WE ARE EXPERT ENTREPRENEURS WHO WORK TOGETHER IN PERSON RUNNING TWO PATHS. ON THE ONE HAND WE GIVE LIFE, AS A TEAM, TO OUR OWN PROJECTS BY INVOLVING THE BEST MINDS AROUND, WITH THE AIM TO BRING ITALY BACK AT THE TOP OF THE GAME. ON THE OTHER WE CAREFULLY SELECT THE PROJECTS THAT EXCITE US, CREATED BY OUTSTANDING TEAMS WITH BOLD IDEAS AND PROVEN TRACK RECORDS OF GETTING THINGS DONE. THEN WE TAKE AN ACTIVE PART IN THEM BY BRINGING OUR SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, CONTACTS, ENTHUSIASM AND OBVIOUSLY FUNDS, TO ENSURE THAT THE FOUNDERS' VISION REACHES AND EXCEEDS THE GOALS. TOMORROW’S MOST ICONIC COMPANIES WILL DEFY CATEGORIZATION AND CREATE SECTORS OF THEIR OWN. AT THE SAME TIME, RECOVERY AND RELAUNCH OF DEFUNCT HISTORICAL PRESTIGIOUS BRANDS (ESPECIALLY ITALIANS), RESTORING THEIR HERITAGE AND REVIVING THEIR LEGACY, IS SOMETHING PRICELESS AND STRATEGIC. THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY 12 VENTURES IS INDUSTRY AGNOSTIC AND APPROACH OPEN-MINDED.
