Francesco Perticarari
2025 Speaker
General Partner at Silicon Roundabout Ventures

Francesco is a computer scientist who built the largest European deeptech meetup and ended up investing as an angel in the sector. Some of his angel portfolio companies are now clocking £40m+ in revenue, but in deeptech that’s still early days.

In 2023 he launched his deeptech soloGP fund in the UK from which he is now investing from focusing on writing first cheques in pre-seed and angel rounds (which he sometimes leads). He closed the fund at just over its £5m target and got backing by the likes of Molten Ventures, Multiple Capital, and exited founders and operators including 1 Nasdaq listed & 3 unicorn companies.

His mission is to build Europe’s first community-driven and truly pan-European VC firm built by technical folks exclusively for deeptech pre-seed and seed founders.
