Noventi Ventures was founded in 2002 by Giacomo Marini to manage venture and private equity investment and to advise growth companies. It currently primarily manages own family assets.

We are an investment firm focused on building successful companies though the partnership we establish with entrepreneurs. 

Leveraging decades of operating experience and a global network of resources, we help guide our companies though the many seen and unseen challenges of growth.

We have expanded our investment scope to broader asset classes, including real estate, public equities, funds and alternative investments.

Noventi Name and Logo

Noventi name was invented and first used by Noventi LLC and its affiliates in 2006.  Noventi embodies both “novus,” as innovation, the fundamental ingredient of a technology startup, and “venture,” an undertaking that is dangerous, daring, or of uncertain outcome; a business enterprise involving risk in expectation of gain.

We believe our logo suggests an energetic and dynamic mindset, while at the same time promoting wise and confident decisions; yet not afraid to take risks and to be different.

The logo was designed by Timothy Wilkinson, the designer of the 1988 Logitech logo that set a provocative new direction for branding in the computer industry.

Over the years, people who have been contributors on the Noventi team include: Nyssa Brennan, Geri Brown, Marie Drez, Pierluigi Ferrero, James Horn, Masa Ishii, Pietro Lomazzi, Ed Niehaus, Simone Rizzi, Pierluigi Zappacosta.
