BlackSheep is the first European venture capital fund with an entrepreneurial background that invests in high-potential technology-based companies focused on AI, Big Data, Automation, and its b2b applications for the Marketing & Advertising industry, from Seed to Round B. We are witnessing a big discontinuity: the marketing & communication services market is one of the biggest and less automated industries in the world. In the next 10 years, it will be completely rewritten both by the explosion of artificial intelligence, big data, business process automation technologies, and the continuous changes in privacy laws. We have a clear vision about: marketing agencies, consulting firms and tech players are converging in the same competitive arena, but despite the efforts the final result for marketers is too expensive, too complicated, too slow and privacy unfit. We believe the marketing provider of the future is a software: automated, intelligent, easy. Made by humans, and led by humans. We have the mission to invest in companies based on AI, Big Data, and RPA (namely robotic process automation) which are developing next-generation SaaS solutions that enable brands to plan, orchestrate, and optimize personalized marketing actions, in an explicit consumer’s consent framework. Europe is our playground.

The Techshop is a new asset management company dedicated to Venture Capital. The first Fund will invest in radical B2B, digital and early stage innovations. The Techshop was born from the desire to amplify our contribution to Italian technological and entrepreneurial development. Over the last 10 years, we have observed how new digital companies have become the main vectors of innovation in the industrial fabric of leading nations and how crucial the “Early Stage” stage is in the acceleration process of startups. This role of digital has strengthened during the economic and social crisis caused by the pandemic and will be crucial for the restart of the global production system. Our recipe is based on a careful selection of talented teams, to whom we will offer capital in increasing quantities and the tools of our “tech workshop”: mentorship, managerial support and access to a large pool of experts. In Digital, the success of a startup is determined by the quality and tenacity of the Founders: the team is the product. We aim to stimulate their potential, challenging them to think big and on a global scale.
