€5 million. That’s how much Mamazen has already raised through investors, family officers, and both national and international investment holdings. Mamazen is the first Italian Startup Studio in history to achieve such a remarkable feat – and we are just getting started.
Our avantgarde Startup Studio encompasses an army of ambitious entrepreneurs and investors who operate based on fact, not foolish assumptions. As a collective, we build no more than 2-4 Startups a year, poising and priming them for a successful, futureproof exit.
Our sphere of focus lies in creating defensible Startups that solve pressing SME challenges through the influence of digital technology. Why? Because Small and Medium Enterprises represent 75% of all active companies operating in the EU. Outrageously, half of them have not yet shifted gears from analogue to digital. Mamazen is here to change that.
Interested? Let's talk... And join the 14% that fail owing to a lack of team skills. What’s more, 38% of startups collapse in the wake of drained finances and no way to raise new capital. Who would want to place their entire investment into one company with a mere 10% shot at success?
…And significantly uptick your chance of success (30%, according to GSSN). Mamazen-launched Startups are led by serial entrepreneurs, and research shows that the top 1% of successful startups are steered by experienced CEOs (Harvard). With Mamazen’s unique investment vehicle (IH1) and an ecosystem of leading investors and VCs, we invest in the Seed and Pre-Seed phases to ensure victory.
Mamazen achieves what other venture studios only dream of. How? Through our painstaking validation process that meticulously studies market trends and potential before investing a cent. To learn more about the extraordinary results of our existing startups, click through below.
