Pi Campus was established with the profits generated by Marco Trombetti, Isabelle Andrieu, and Gianluca Granero from their previous businesses.
Initially, it was the investment arm of Translated, a translation service that pioneered the use of artificial intelligence to help professional translators. After a few years, things started growing very fast and the VC firm was created.
We invest in Europe and the US, without any constraints regarding how much and when to invest. Nor do we plan to exit in advance. We invest mostly in AI, but if your startup is growing incredibly fast, it would be our pleasure to meet you anyway.
To date, we have 49 investments mostly in the AI field, 5 of which already successfully exited.
