About Giulia

You're looking for someone who can turn a market opportunity, an innovation challenge, or an investment question into a clear, actionable answer - fast. That's what I do.

With 7+ years working at the intersection of investments and innovation, I help two types of clients:

🏢 Corporates, Funds & Strategic Decision-Makers

I help corporate innovation teams, VCs and strategic decision-makers move from ambiguity to insight. I've delivered for clients including Shell, Kraft Heinz, Japan Tobacco International, Eli Lilly, Dr. Reddy's, and the Dutch Ministry of Defence.
I don't just research markets: I've sat on both sides of the table, evaluating startups as an investor and supporting them as a portfolio manager. That means my deliverables are built to drive real decisions, not just inform them.

I typically work on:
- Market landscape, competitive and startup ecosystem analyses
- Startup scouting and due diligence
- Open innovation programs design and delivery

🚀 Startups & Founders

Having reviewed and supported hundreds of startups, I know exactly what investors look for - and I can help founders craft the narrative, structure the financials, and build the materials that get them in the room.

I typically work on:
- Pitch decks for fundraising rounds
- Business plans and financial projections
- Investment readiness reviews
