Our vision

StartupMachine was born with the ambition of creating businesses with global reach, using technology as a strategic lever—not an end in itself.

Behind the project is a founder with a track record of building and scaling successful startups, who believes in the combination of curation, intelligent execution, and cutting-edge innovation as the foundation for extraordinary companies.

Our focus is transforming theses into reality: we identify opportunities, provide smart capital, and bring new startups to life, ready to grow.

We value:

Artificial Intelligence as a driver for efficiency and differentiation;

Blockchain and DAOs as structures for decentralization and value creation;

Global businesses, designed to scale from day one.
