The selected startups will join the LVenture Group’s ecosystem, a network of strategic partners that includes leading investors and corporates, international advisors, ready to commit also financially, and a network of ‘alumni’ of the more than 130 startups accelerated by LUISS EnLabs.

The LVenture team actively supports start-ups, working to meet the needs of each one with tailor-made solutions: you can feel their passion for this world. No one can replace the founders in their daily commitment, but if I had to choose fellow travellers, motivators and guides, I would have no doubts”.
