Banks and insurance companies have the potential to become true strategic partners for SMEs — providing not only financing, but also risk protection and long-term support for growth. This opportunity remains largely untapped in Italy. The SDA Bocconi–AON report highlights how bancassurance models could help to bridge this gap. https://lnkd.in/dCtGttT8

🔍 How do you assess the technological strength of a startup? In venture capital, a rigorous and structured technical due diligence is essential for mitigating risks and supporting sound investment decisions, especially given the growing complexity of technological solutions and the rapid pace at which markets evolve. That’s why we teamed up with Cefriel, the research center of Politecnico di Milano, to help us evaluate the technology, processes, and people behind Akamas, one of our latest investments. Akamas uses AI to optimize software applications, enabling significant improvements in performance, cost reduction, and reliability. This collaboration provided us with objective insights into the solidity of their technology — a key element of the complex reasoning that drives venture capital investment decisions. 💬 “Working with Cefriel allowed us to look beyond the code and gain a clear view of the startup’s technological maturity, team competencies, and long-term scalability.” — Fabio Pirovano, partner at United Ventures A big thank you to the Cefriel team for the great work and partnership, and for the opportunity to highlight the importance of thorough technical due diligence with a trusted scientific advisor in our work.
