About

We believe in
raw potential.

Potakoi is the investment vehicle of Marco Streparava, a serial entrepreneur and angel investor with a background spanning technology, innovation and venture building. Marco has been backing early-stage founders since 2010 — long before seed investing became mainstream in Italy.

His approach is direct, founder-first and built on long-term conviction. Beyond capital, he brings hands-on experience as an advisor and board member across a portfolio spanning FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, Blockchain and Deep Tech.

Potakoi focuses on highly scalable technology — particularly B2B SaaS, AI & DeepTech, Digital Health, and consumer tech with strong communities or creator-driven models. The one constant across every investment: a strong, execution-focused founding team.
