“Mind the Bridge” is a non-profit initiative founded by Marco Marinucci in 2007. It is aimed at stimulating Italian entrepreneurship by selecting a small group of innovative Italian business ideas, providing them with a mentor and inviting for a road show in the Silicon Valley.

The objective is to provide new entrepreneurs with direct exposure to potential venture capital investors from the most experienced, entrepreneurial eco-system in the world, the Silicon Valley.

The ultimate goal of the foundation is to create the conditions to foster a sustainable Italian entrepreneurial eco-system, spur more ideas, and subsequently reinvigorate the complex new-venture economy.
