Pillar 4
Fundraising and investors
We help you prepare for fundraising and introduce you to angels, angel networks and funds suited to your stage. PATAVIUM does not raise, hold or manage money and does not give investment advice.
For founders, we work on story, numbers and materials before you meet investors. Then, starting from the Capital Map, our public map of angels, networks and funds, we help you work out who to meet and, where possible, introduce you.
For investors, the community is a place to meet founders and startups: events online and in Padua, Studium final days and direct introductions when there is interest on both sides.
PATAVIUM is not a fund or an investment club. We do not raise capital, coordinate investments between members or make investment recommendations: every decision stays between founders and investors.
