Mission and Market: Investing with Italians

Three young Italian men living in San Francisco have just begun to create an investment firm called Mission and Market. These men are Francesco Simoneschi, Simone Brunozzi, and Stefano Bernardi.

 

Their Italian investment firm is the first of its kind located in the United States. The name of their company originated from two streets in San Francisco, “Mission” and “Market.” It is also based on the idea that businesses that are starting up need to have a mission and a market to work with. Simoneschi, Brunozzi, and Bernardi are primarily concerning themselves with the Silicon Valley area due to the technological advancement that has taken place there.

 

The goal of Mission and Market is not to fund new up and coming businesses but to make investments in them from a third party. Francesco, Simone, and Stefano do not intend to charge a fee for their investors because they value integrity and only ask for the amount of money that the investors would like to invest.

 

These three intelligent businessmen also have a European connection in that they can bring investors from Italy to help companies here in the United States.

 

Francesco Simoneschi has been the product manager at UpSight, which was established in 2007 in San Francisco. His company has gained more than 50 million dollars in venture capital.

 

Simone Brunozzi is the Vice President and Chief Technologist at VMware, Inc., a company involved with networking. Simone has co-written two novels and a few books on technical information.

 

 

Each of these men have a lot to offer and the fact that they are working together makes Mission and Market a firm that will be hard to beat. With their experience and insight, they are sure to make quite a profit for their investors and themselves while helping businesses that are starting up take off and succeed.
