FoolFarm is Italy's leading AI and Deep-Tech venture builder, founded in 2020 by Andrea Cinelli. Positioned as a 'startup factory,' FoolFarm creates startups in series through a proprietary industrial process called BeFOOL, developing them with an assembly-line approach over a 36-month cycle with 6 phases from conception to exit. The company defines itself as a 'Corp-Up Studio' - simultaneously operating as a Startup Studio and Corporate Venture Builder. FoolFarm specializes in Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity sectors, building startups from scratch either around their own IPs and ideas, co-founding with new entrepreneurs, or building for major corporations. Their motto is 'One Startup, One Patent' - emphasizing intellectual property protection for every venture. The company operates with an innovative model that combines venture building with open innovation, positioning itself as an external innovation lab for enterprises while maintaining over 1,500 square meters of innovation space in Milan.
