Mashauri is a platform for new ventures and early-stage businesses that was developed with the goal of rebuilding economies through improving the success rates of entrepreneurs. It takes an entrepreneur on an interactive journey from defining the business concept to reaching a sustainable and growing business.

The entrepreneur is guided along this journey via the Mashauri Map completing all the key steps along the way. Visual reports are produced at certain milestones. Many of these outputs become part of the overall business plan that is developed and refined along the way. The entrepreneur also has access to our key "resources" - a collection of highly useful information and tools covering finance, accounting, marketing, strategy and legal issues among other elements. Furthermore, Mashauri helps these new business owners in staying focussed and motivated through videos, case studies and performance dashboards.

At pre-agreed intervals, the venture interacts with one of our real live mentors (highly-experienced business people), who reviews the work to date and agrees with the entrepreneur when they are ready for the next phase in the journey.

Investors are a key element of Mashauri and we help our entrepreneurs source financing from a range of potential funding sources; as well as assisting our investment partners (angels, VC's, crowd-funders) in identifying appropriate and exciting businesses to support.

Mashauri has been designed to allow "hubs" to use the platform to optimally manage their own collection of ventures. By "hubs", we mean organisations that support a group of entrepreneurs such as accelerators, business schools, co-working spaces and even large companies wishing to foster the entrepreneurial spirit within their own ranks. The hub has a view of all their ventures at an individual and aggregate level and can track their process on the Mashauri Map.

So - these are the components of the Mashauri ecosystem: our entrepreneurs, our mentors, the investors, the hubs and the journey itself.

The club is not a financial institution or an investment fund: the Members invest their patrimony in every single project, acquiring shares in the company.

For us an investment is more than money: it means involving a group of people whose contacts and experience are more valuable than the capital itself.

Once decided to invest, we choose the “sponsor” among the Members. The “sponsor” becomes the link between the entrepreneurial team and the investors’ network.

Born in 2008 with only 6 entrepreneurs, the Club has more than 80 Members today, who collaborate to the growth of the company, like guardian angels, following the example of the American “Business Angels”.

Admittance to the Club requires the nomination by one of the Members.

Euroventures is a venture capital company sponsored by Eurogroup for the purpose of supporting and valorising the most promising startups. The company supports both the creation of new businesses and the development of newly-established companies with investments ranging from 50 thousand to 600 thousand euro. Euroventures responds to the need for financing, with injections of ‘fresh’ capital, the startup of entrepreneurial projects (development of a prototype or a business idea) in order to bring them successfully to market.

Euroventures was born of the acquisition of Piemonte High Technology Srl (Piemontech) by Eurogroup S.c.a r.l. in January 2014. On the same day the company took the name of Euroventures. Piemontech was founded in 2005 with the aim of creating value for companies and for the region. The first venture capital operator in Piedmont and one of the first in Italy, in almost ten years of business Piemontech has steadily spread the entrepreneurial culture, especially among young people, encouraging a large number of startups.

With this acquisition Eurogroup completes its range of services dedicated to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Through the credit guarantee services of Eurofidi, the business consulting activities of Eurocons, the energy solutions offered by Euroenergy and now the acquisition of shares by Euroventures in the capital of innovative startups, Eurogroup offers an extensive and integrated range of products.

Euroventures, partly thanks to its partners, is supported by a network of professionals and entrepreneurs with many years of experience in venture capital, multinational companies and the academic world. This support is not limited solely to finance, in fact. New entrepreneurs are guided throughout the process of growth, from the initial development and implementation of business strategies to identifying new customers and potential partners, and including, where appropriate, the integration of managerial skills to complement the existing team.

Lastly, Euroventures is a member of the Polo Italiano del Venture Capital, an association of Italian and international funds whose purpose is to share and evaluate investment opportunities. The association deals both with venture capital focused on individual sectors and also with more general funds.
