Marco Di Miceli brings a legal and structural approach to venture investing, focusing on details like liquidation preferences, vesting, and governance terms rather than just sourcing deals, with early hands-on experience in Silicon Valley-style tools like SAFEs and convertible notes that he later adapted for Italy through SFPs. Before joining Neva SGR, where he now covers Italy and Continental Europe from Milan, he co-founded Sequitur Capital and spent over 25 years across private equity, capital markets, and academia in Italy and abroad, giving him a broad foundation that shapes his founder-focused, safety-net style of governance.
About their Fund
Neva SGR is a venture capital fund backed by Intesa Sanpaolo that connects Italian entrepreneurs to global investors and helps international founders enter Italy's industrial and scientific network, drawing on the bank's connections to help portfolio companies with customer introductions, coaching, governance, fundraising, and debt access, while also running a separate fund that invests in the infrastructure of the startup ecosystem itself and a Lombardy-focused fund for cleantech companies with proven technology. It focuses on companies already generating at least €5M in revenue in fields like life sciences, energy, digital transformation, and aerospace, has built a portfolio spanning areas such as fusion energy, quantum computing, and biotech, and offers access to its funds to both institutional investors and, through Fideuram and Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking, private banking clients.
