Ilaria Cavalleri is an Investment Principal at Primo Capital who specializes in space-tech investments through Primo Space, a relatively rare focus among Italian VCs that positions her as a go-to person in the local space-tech ecosystem. She runs ScaleupItaly, her own educational project where she writes extensively about Italian fundraising and startup scaling, and regularly mentors early-stage founders through institutional programs like Bocconi's B4i, reflecting a teaching-oriented approach that goes beyond traditional capital allocation.
