Is this call for you?
This call is designed for Italian ventures with an active, operational presence. It’s for you if:
You’re a founder with an established company that is generating revenue and developing an MVP.
You’re a startup seeking pre-seed or seed funding to validate your business model.
You’re a scaling startup aiming for Series A funding; we act as a smart investor, arranging a training period to help you access the fund.
You’re a corporate entity looking for a partner to launch an innovative venture project.
You have a groundbreaking university project.
You’re a PMI seeking strategic support to accelerate growth and enhance innovation.
Will this impact on your equity?
Minimal impact, as our equity share in your venture is low. We don’t have a standard entry rate; instead, we conduct a due diligence process to determine a customized entry point with an equity range from a minimum of 2% to a maximum of 8%. We also outline buyback plans or follow-on options based on your equity needs and growth trajectory.
Is KVA an investor or a consulting?
We're both. We help our clients to kill the game. We ensure to provide expert strategic consulting and connect you with our network of business angels.
