Pi Campus

Pi Campus is a venture capital firm based in Rome, Italy, that specializes in investing in early-stage startups focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and tech innovations. Founded by Marco Trombetti, Isabelle Andrieu, and Gianluca Granero, Pi Campus originated from Translated, a pioneering AI-driven translation service. The firm primarily invests in startups that apply AI to disrupt traditional industries, especially those perceived as slow-moving, and supports them with funding, mentorship, and access to a vast international network. Pi Campus typically invests between €50,000 and €500,000 in exchange for equity stakes of 1% to 10%, targeting startups in Europe and the U.S. with a strong focus on AI applications. Their portfolio includes companies like Boom Supersonic, which is working on sustainable supersonic travel, and Skymind, an AI ecosystem builder. In addition to financial investment, Pi Campus provides a nurturing environment for startups, including workspace in luxury villas converted into offices, and mentorship through their School of AI, which trains engineers on real-world problems with the support of global tech leaders like Google and Facebook. Pi Campus places a significant emphasis on fostering innovation and diversity, offering a collaborative platform for AI enthusiasts and entrepreneurs who combine design, technology, and emotional intelligence to create impactful products​.
