A Relevant Partner for Your Venture

We Fund Entrepreneurs
Who Define New Patterns

Great founders do not fit stereotypes of successful people: we look for those who are different

Built on Successful Experiences

Huge opportunities exist where society has overlooked excellence because of biased pattern matching from past success.

Marco TrombettI
Pi Campus CEO

Pi Campus was established with the profits generated by Marco Trombetti, Isabelle Andrieu, and Gianluca Granero from their previous businesses.

Initially, it was the investment arm of Translated, a translation service that pioneered the use of artificial intelligence to help professional translators. After a few years, things started growing very fast and the VC firm was created.

To date, we have 49 investments mostly in the AI field, 5 of which already successfully exited.
