Francesco As A Speaker
I have strong experience as a lecturer and passionate speaker, with gigs and guest appearances at international conferences, universities and events of all sizes. Examples include London Tech Week and the international AI Summit, the European GNSS Agency, or the London Institute of Banking & Finance and Politecnico di Milano.
I specialised in how entrepreneurship, science, and venture capital can come together to fuel innovation and generate global impact.
Thanks to my experience as a computer scientist, community builder, and leading the VC firm Silicon Roundabout Ventures as a Solo Capitalist, I can bring unique insights into the deeptech and VC world.
My ideas and insights have been published on top tech and business publications such as Sifted.eu, Forbes, UK Tech News and more.
