The three startups of FOUNDAMENTA#9 presented themselves to private entities, business angels, private investors, family offices and impact funds. Present were the impact investors of SocialFare Seed (Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRC, Finde S.p.A. and Fondazione Magnetto), a private seed investment vehicle that invests in startups accelerated by SocialFare, and others interested in supporting the birth, development and scalability of innovative companies able to generate economic value with a social impact. The teams have already registered the interest of some investors and, in the case of UnoBravo, have collected a 1st round of investments during the acceleration program.

The Social Impact Investor Day closes a four-month program of high-intensity work in which the startups selected through the FOUNDAMENTA call were able to increase their skills thanks to the support of the SocialFare team, composed of experts in product/service design, business modelling & strategy, investment readiness, mentors and advisors of the highest level and new networks, opportunities for comparison and opportunities to test their entrepreneurial offer. The path allowed the startuppers to approach their target market in a conscious, mature and ready manner and to arouse the interest of the audience, which actively participated by asking numerous and timely questions at the end of the presentation pitch of each project.
