Raffaele Mauro is a general partner at Primo Capital, one of Europe's first specialist space-economy funds, where he applies a 360-degree lens across both upstream and downstream space technologies with Italy as a central geographic focus. He combines a political science/economics background, an MPA in international finance from Harvard, and a PhD in economics/finance from Bocconi with training at Singularity University at NASA Ames, giving him an unusually policy-aware, macro, and frontier-tech perspective on space and deep tech investing compared with more traditional engineering-only investor profiles.
