Francesco founded the VC Silicon Roundabout Ventures as a Solo GP to scale-up his Deep Tech angel investing and bring other investors and asset allocators along the journey.

Francesco's way into venture investing was through building Silicon Roundabout into the largest tech meetup community in Europe: where 15,000 engineers, founders and startup operators can connect, learn from one another, and showcase frontier technologies. 

He runs blog on technology development, deep tech startups and VC: theengineervc.com

Before Silicon Roundabout Ventures, Francesco worked in Computer Science as a CTO, tech lead and software engineer.

He also founded the boutique property investment company AGAPE Properties (the 1st UK property manager to accept crypto payments).
