Junto Ventures · Startup factory & venture builder

We build startups, in series.

Junto Ventures is the entrepreneurial engine of the Junto ecosystem: a venture builder through which we create high-potential tech startups, combining capital, operating teams, selected founders and long-term vision.

The venture builder

New high-potential tech ventures.

Junto Ventures develops new high-potential tech companies. We build startups from scratch together with selected co-founders, and we support teams that are already operating through the stages of growth, traction and fundraising.

We work as a territorial venture builder: we don't just create startups, we generate local economic value by connecting universities, companies, investors and institutions in a single operating ecosystem. Capital, team and long-term vision are the ingredients with which we turn ideas into companies.

Two ways to build

From scratch, or alongside those already running.

01

Startups built from scratch

We select co-founders and build new startups starting from the idea: validation, team, product and go-to-market, with operating resources and capital dedicated from day one.

02

Already operating teams

We support founders and active teams through the stages of growth, traction and fundraising, providing skills, network and access to investors to accelerate scale.

How we work

From idea to scale, alongside founders.

01

Co-building with founders

We work side by side with founders on product development, traction and positioning — both on new ventures built from scratch and on active teams looking to grow.

02

Integrated ecosystem

We give access to the skills, partners, spaces and connections of the entire Junto ecosystem, to accelerate every stage of the journey.

03

Capital and growth

We open access to a network of investors and advisors to get startups ready for fundraising, traction and scale.
