Our Approach to Startups<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

<\/div>
Our partnership with startups enables us to make things happen by turning smeup’s vision into reality with a focus on the pooling of intelligence to enhance both know-how and typical processes of business companies, along with those of their people, by taking advantage of the potential of new technologies.<\/p>\n

smeup can provide startups with multi-faceted support determined by a number of features characterizing a company that has grown in the market over its 30-year history:<\/p>\n

\u25a0 size of the markets which smeup targets
\n\u25a0 depth of the solutions provided
\n\u25a0 a large number of projects dealt with by using a heterogeneous approach which turns out to be suitable for customers of different backgrounds<\/p>\n

This is why smeup can identify technological synergies between what a startup develops or requires and the solutions already developed or being developed by its customers.<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Features of a target startup<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

\u25a0 What we are on the lookout for: B2B early-stage startups with XaaS businesses based on ground-breaking technologies (for example: IoT, AI\/ML, Blockchain, 5G, Cryptography, Augmented Reality, 3D Printing, Robotics, Metaverse, etc.) with active target customers in traditional business areas<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Who we invest in: founders dedicated 24×7 to the business project<\/p>\n

\u25a0 On which target market: startups with registered office in Italy and\/or projects developed throughout the Italian peninsula<\/p>\n

\u25a0 At what stage of development: startups that have developed the MVP with a challenging but realistic business plan\/pitch in mind<\/p>\n

\u25a0 How much we invest: initial investment up to \u20ac 200,000<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
