Listen "The Open-Hardware Deal No One Expected; Cyberwave, Eoliann, Italian Pension Funds and VC? #181"
Episode Synopsis
This episode dives into the week’s biggest startup, tech, and venture-capital stories: Cyberwave, Eoliann, Arduino’s Qualcomm deal, and Italy’s new pension-fund VC law.The hosts unpack how Cyberwave’s €7 million seed round shows the rise of digital-twin infrastructure for testing industrial robotics safely before real-world deployment.They then explore Eoliann’s €4.25 million raise, combining satellite data and climate-risk modeling for insurance and infrastructure investors—a sign that space-data startups are entering finance.Next, they analyze Qualcomm’s acquisition of Arduino, a historic shift that bridges the open-hardware movement with corporate edge-AI power, potentially letting makers build commercial-grade products faster.The discussion expands to robotics, AI hardware, and the new generation of founders with exits moving into deep tech.Finally, they break down Italy’s Decreto 95/2025, which lets pension funds invest up to 10 percent in VC by 2027 with tax exemptions.Niccolò's newsletter: http://dealflowit.niccolosanarico.com/Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@giacomomolloListen to all episodes on audio:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3fVynsQGoogle Podcast: https://bit.ly/3thf9RCApple Podcast: https://apple.co/3ElhykqAmazon Music: https://shorturl.at/9Dtd9Get in touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giacxxxTwitter: https://twitter.com/giacomomolloEmail: [email protected]#venturecapital #italy #startup
