BlackSheep is a European venture capital fund managed by EUREKA! Venture SGR Spa. It invests in the marketing and advertising technology industry, focusing on European tech companies that aim to transform the marketing industry through Big Data, AI, and Robotic Processes Automation technologies.

BlackSheep

BlackSheep is the first European venture capital fund with an entrepreneurial background that invests in high-potential technology-based companies focused on AI, Big Data, Automation, and its b2b applications for the Marketing & Advertising industry, from Seed to Round B. 

We are witnessing a big discontinuity: the marketing & communication services market is one of the biggest and less automated industries in the world. In the next 10 years, it will be completely rewritten both by the explosion of artificial intelligence, big data, business process automation technologies, and the continuous changes in privacy laws. 

We have a clear vision about: marketing agencies, consulting firms and tech players are converging in the same competitive arena, but despite the efforts the final result for marketers is too expensive, too complicated, too slow and privacy unfit.

We believe the marketing provider of the future is a software: automated, intelligent, easy. Made by humans, and led by humans.
 
We have the mission to invest in companies based on AI, Big Data, and RPA (namely robotic process automation) which are developing next-generation SaaS solutions that enable brands to plan, orchestrate, and optimize personalized marketing actions, in an explicit consumer’s consent framework. 
Europe is our playground.

Bootstrapping Italian Artificial Intelligence at the AI Festival in #Milan

Like it or not, #AI is going to have a profound and irreversible impact on our lives, economy and society. This new #industrial #revolution is literally shuttling us to a #technological #singularity.

The Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale is looking at the #governance of AI in the various international fora (such as United Nations OECD - OCDE European Union and #G7) and as an essential tool all #italian #companies (primarily our #SMEs) need to adopt and harness to keep pace with international competition.

Furthermore, we feel it is imperative to help the international growth of our #tech companies that develop #AI #models, #systems and #applications, which represent the higher end of the #AI lifecycle…particularly our extraordinary #StartUps.

#Italy hosts a vast pool of #AI #talents #capacities and #knowhow that are still unserved in terms of deployable capital. That’s why international #VC #investors should become more aware of the great opportunities offered by the Italian #AI #ecosystem.

Many thanks to WMF - We Make Future for organising this first important AI Festival in Milan (14 and 15 February). A special thanks to co-panelists Lucia Chierchia of GELLIFY Stefano Molino of CDP Venture Capital SGR Giovanni Strocchi of BlackSheep MadTech Fund Gabriele Ronchini of Digital Magics and Niccolò Sanarico of Primo Ventures for sharing with me their insigths on the main stage. 

A special thanks to Cosmano Lombardo of WMF - We Make Future and his fantastic team..and looking forward to next year’s event.

Still buzzing from yesterday’s meeting that kicked off the “Privacy In Advertising” joint project with the AOP Association of Online Publishers, Publicis Groupe and Anonymised. 🤩 It was amazing to be in the room with many of the most brilliant UK publishers and advertisers, building a shared vision for the future of programmatic advertising.
