About Francesco Perticarari

Note: if you'd like to connect and we have not met, PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE explaining why. Thanks. TLDR: I'm a computer scientist who built the largest European deeptech meetup and ended up investing as an angel in the sector. Some of my angel portfolio companies are now clocking £40m+ in revenue or part of national security contracts, but in deeptech that's still early days.In 2023 I launched my deeptech soloGP fund in the UK from which I'm now investing from focusing on writing first cheques in pre-seed and angel rounds (which I sometimes lead). I closed the fund at just over its £5m target and got backing by the likes of Molten Ventures (LSE:GROW), Multiple Capital, and exited founders and operators including 1 Nasdaq listed & 3 unicorn companies. My mission? To build Europe's first community-driven and truly pan-European VC firm built by technical folks exclusively for deeptech pre-seed and seed founders.***Longer version:I founded Silicon Roundabout Ventures to scale-up my Deep Tech angel investing and bring other investors and asset allocators along the journey.My way into venture investing was through building Silicon Roundabout into the largest tech meetup community in Europe: where 15,000 engineers, founders and startup operators can connect, learn from one another, and showcase frontier technologies: siliconroundabout.techIf you'd like to pitch me a pre-seed/seed European startup or if you'd like to enquire about future chances to join the fund as an investor, please head over to: siliconroundabout.ventures I run a blog on technology development, deep tech startups and VC: theengineervc.com***Before Silicon Roundabout Ventures, I have worked in Computer Science as a CTO, tech lead and software engineer.I also founded the boutique property investment company AGAPE Properties (1st UK property manager to accept crypto payments).I love sharing my learnings and beliefs about Deep Tech and Venture Capital through my writings or talks: So far, I held guest lectures, panels and keynotes at London Fintech Week, Frontier Deep Tech, Founder Institute, London Tech Week, The London Institute of Banking and Finance, ASP (Politecnico di Milano), Birmingham Tech Week and the European GNSS Agency amongst others.I'm a physics, history and business geek and speak English, Italian and Spanish and love anything entrepreneurial or techie.

    Excited to share our latest investment at Silicon Roundabout Ventures! 💼 VyperCore, a world-changing semiconductor startup, raised £4m in 2023 in seed funding! 💰 🤝 Teaming up with Octopus Ventures, Foresight Group, Science Creates Ventures and BGF we're thrilled to back this seed round. 🌍 The funding will open design centres in Cambridge & Bristol, UK, and drive the development of the first-gen of their accelerated compute silicon.🤟 The founders are also HIRING! Which, if you're interested in changing the world with novel computing technology, is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity 🤯 🚀 VyperCore's tech accelerates high-performance workloads up to 10x, without modifying the original code. 🔒 It also blocks high-risk cyber-attack vectors at the processor's gate level, enhancing security. 💡 Their innovative memory management redefines the processor's memory view, optimising code execution and blocking memory-oriented cyber threats. 🔧 Plus: it has the potential to integrate into leading processor architectures, delivering cost & energy savings in data centres without rewriting existing code bases. ⚛️ Going beyond their first product, VyperCore has the opportunity to become the world-leading "vertically integrated" semiconductor company: by uniquely marrying both software and hardware expertise when designing and producing new chips and architectures. 🌐 We're proud to support VyperCore as it paves the way for a new era of cost-performance benchmarks! #venturecapital #deeptech #semiconductor #datacenters #cybersecurityhttps://www.eetimes.com/processor-startup-innovates-memory-allocation-management/

    We announced the round on Sifted.eu: https://sifted.eu/articles/spacetech-archangel-lightworks-raises-4m-news/About Archangel:The Archangel Lightworks team are developing a fundamentally new class of laser communication infrastructure, built specifically to unlock step-changes in the bandwidth, security and coverage of data that moves between Space and Earth.Today, space and terrestrial networks are not well-connected leading to insecure, insufficient, and vulnerable infrastructure.Archangel is building high-volume, secure, wireless technology to create the space-enabled networks of the future. To me this journey is particularly exciting because I ask you: What if you could rewind time and build or invest in the pioneers that laid out the internet routing pipework? Pioneers like Cisco, Juniper Networks and UUNET that shaped the world of technology by enabling data to flow across the planet for the first time. I believe Archangel has the same disruptive potential by enabling an entire new way of moving data across space and between space and earth. If successful, this team can help usher an entire new kind of telecom infrastructure
