Who we are
FoolFarm is the first deep-tech startup factory based on venture building criteria
At FoolFarm, we believe that entrepreneurship is the driving force for human development and in Venture Building as a model to transform the ideas of the most visionary founders, the research of the brightest universities, and the innovation projects of companies, into solid realities capable of creating long-term value around Italian talent.
End-to-end startup builders
We build startups from scratch to market. Our mission is to support new founders, universities, and companies in building innovative products in strategic sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and the metaverse, starting from zero, through a semi-industrial scientific process that transforms the idea into reality while preserving the originality of the innovation but reducing the failure rate compared to market standards.
