The PATAVIUM network
The right people, at the right time.
PATAVIUM is a private incubator: the network is how we move the startups we support forward. Mentors, professionals, investors and companies from North-East Italy, brought in when needed.
What the network does for the startups we support
Targeted introductions
To a pilot customer, a professional or an investor: only when there is a concrete reason on both sides.
Hands-on expertise
Technology, security, legal, finance and sales: professionals who work on the problem, not just advice.
Founder to founder
The startups we support know each other and share contacts, suppliers and mistakes to avoid.
Invitation-only meetings
In Padua and online, with founders, investors and companies in the network, when there is something useful to share.
Who is in it
- • The tech startups we support with advisory, part-time CTO and CISO, check-ups, fundraising or Restart
- • Mentors and professionals with direct experience in startups and scale-ups
- • Angels, angel networks and funds interested in early-stage startups from North-East Italy
- • Companies, professional firms and incubators we work with on customers, pilots and referrals
How we work
- • Every introduction has a reason: no spray-and-pray intros.
- • Confidentiality: what a startup shares with us stays with us.
- • No cold selling inside the network.
- • PATAVIUM does not raise or manage capital: negotiations stay between startup and investor.
How to get in
If you run a startup, the first step is a 30-minute intro call: together we work out where you are and whether we can help. If you are a mentor, an investor or a company and want to collaborate, tell us who you are and what you can bring.

We work mostly with startups from Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige, but we also consider projects from other Italian regions.
