Why deals fail

    Brilliant science is necessary.
    It is not sufficient.

    Investors fund theses, not data. Partners commit to people, not products. Institutions move for relationships, not proposals. For 20 years I've worked at the intersection where science becomes a decision - across Europe, Asia, and the US.

    Who I am

    I am not a scientist. That's why I ask the questions that matter.

    When a researcher presents a discovery, my first question is always the same: so what? Not because the answer is obvious - but because often it isn't yet. That question, asked with curiosity and respect, is where every path to market begins. For 20 years I've built bridges. Between research and capital. Between Italy and the world. Between a discovery and its market.
