Rome, November 2025 – With significant revenues generated by portfolio startups, an operational model that has already produced seven active companies, and plans to launch five new startups every year, Venturia S.p.A. officially presents itself to the market as one of Italy’s first industrial venture builders, partnered with Rödl & Partner.
Venturia S.p.A. was born as a venture builder with a clear vision: transform high-potential innovative ideas and projects into high-growth startups, through a unique co-creation model in the Italian landscape that unites founder entrepreneurial strength with SME industrial substance. Venturia represents an already-validated reality: seven startups launched and operational, with significant economic and industrial performance, and two new initiatives ready for launch by year-end. Rödl & Partner supports Venturia’s activity as a venture builder and accompanies the startups in their legal and fiscal journey with specialized professionals from the “StartUp” excellence area, led by attorney Roberto Pera and Dr. Giuseppe Mancini.
Among the most established realities born within Venturia we find Lucen S.p.A., today a full-fledged SME with total revenues exceeding €100 million and two consecutive years of distributed dividends. Ennexia has been profitable since its second year of activity. Navia has completed two funding rounds and is establishing itself as one of the most interesting players in the electric boating sector. The portfolio is completed by Tabulia, Sunlight, Nexalia, and MNCLab.
Venturia operates in a still-young context like Italy’s, where the startup market is rich in potential but also presents structural limits: a still-fragile ecosystem, scarce patient capital availability, and a lack of systemic connections comparable to those present in other European countries. It’s precisely in this framework that the venture builder model finds its strength: supporting founders from the earliest phases, guaranteeing not only capital but also operational skills, industrial connections, and tools to scale rapidly. Unlike incubators and accelerators, a venture builder directly participates in company creation, reducing failure risk and increasing success probability. Rödl & Partner strongly believes in this strategy.
Venturia’s winning model is based on a distinctive formula: pairing each founder with an SME interested in developing innovative projects in strategic sectors. Venturia defines itself as a venture builder with an industrial platform: it co-creates new startups by bringing together selected founders and “anchor” SMEs/Corporates for each project. This approach unites entrepreneurial creativity with assets, channels, and industrial skills, reducing time-to-market and increasing success probability. Venturia is not a captive corporate venture builder, but rather designs custom industrial partnerships, maintaining independent governance and international reach. And in this international reach, Rödl & Partner, as an international firm with offices in the most important industrialized countries, can contribute its expertise.
Venturia’s shareholder structure is composed of high-profile players: beyond founder and CEO Giuseppe Mancini, there’s Gruppo Arturian, active in construction, energy efficiency, and renewable energy sectors, led by Adriano Dulizia, who also serves as Venturia S.p.A. president. The team is completed by highly experienced managers and professionals with strategic roles on the Board of Directors and in the company’s operational direction, including Andrea Zanza, Leonardo Castelli, and Daniele Dell’Ariccia, supported by Dr. Emanuele Spagnoletti Zeuli from Rödl & Partner. Supporting Venturia in brand identity creation and communication management is agency SCAI Comunicazione.
Among Venturia’s strategic objectives for the coming years are launching at least five new startups per year, consolidating the model at European level, and bringing in new partners and institutional capital. Venturia aims to build an ecosystem where SMEs and entrepreneurs actively collaborate to create shared, measurable, and scalable value.
