We are on a mission to democratize startup acceleration for anyone
How we got here
We started with a clear mission: to demystify AI, strip away the buzzwords, and help businesses solve real operational bottlenecks. But as we scaled, we identified a massive flaw in how startups were being built and funded. Traditional accelerators were too slow, and venture capital was too disconnected from daily product execution. Founders were wasting months building the wrong things. So, we built our own infrastructure to fix it.
Today, Freshmango is a complete digital ecosystem operating at the intersection of rapid execution and capital deployment. Driven by our mission to democratize startup acceleration for anyone, we refuse to just be advisors. Through our accelerator and syndicate, we build, accelerate, and fund.
We work with top-tier VCs

The people behind this
Entrepreneurial strategist, always in pursuit of the most cutting-edge solutions. With deep expertise in the digital industry, innovation, and business development, I specialize in helping companies scale and optimize their operations across European markets. With hands-on experience in digital transformation and open innovation, I guide businesses in integrating AI, automation, and market expansion strategies.
For the past several years I've been embedded in the European VC ecosystem, working across pre-seed and Series A stages, both on the investment side and in the trenches with portfolio companies on challenges like market expansion, product strategy, and growth. My background is in corporate digital strategy, IT transformation, and HR tech entrepreneurship, giving me a valuable perspective from both sides of the table. I'm driven by seeing startups win. I find motivation in enabling growth and contributing to the ecosystem on a global scale, shaped by an international mindset through living and working across multiple continents.

I have a background VC, startups, and Big4 advisory, backed by Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Finance. As a VC, I have led 32 early-stage deals totaling €30 million. Having seen the investment process from both sides, I now help startups prepare for funding rounds with clarity and confidence (pitch decks and pitching, financial budgets and projections, cap tables, valuations, term sheet & investment agreements, market analysis and market sizing, fundraising & investor identification, and other tips & tricks on decoding VCs language and thinking.
With a background in public and corporate communication from La Sapienza, I translate complex scientific and technological advancements into strategic narratives that engage stakeholders, investors, and the public. Passionate about building entrepreneurial ecosystems, I connect companies with the right opportunities, funding, and partners to drive sustainable growth in the European and global markets.
Antonio, 16, runs marketing at Freshmango. He builds the perfect AI stack in public, sharing what actually works as he goes. He helps founders automate the boring parts, run agents, and ship faster. If you want a live look at how the next generation of EU founders thinks and builds, follow what he is putting out.
Agne is the Community Manager at Freshmango. She is the person founders talk to first and the one who keeps the community running day to day. From onboarding new cohorts to connecting founders with the right mentor at the right moment, she makes sure no one in the Freshmango network ever feels like they are building alone. When she is not in the founder channels she is baking or doing outdoor activities.
