The journey continues to discover Genoese and Ligurian companies that are innovating in collaboration with Fondazione Genova Startup.
The Italian innovation landscape suffers from a paradox: we have excellent ideas and visionary founders, but often lack the technical and operational “bridge” capable of bringing a project’s potential to fruition. Many start-ups get stuck at the idea stage because they cannot find the right technology partner or do not have the budget to support the development of an MVP that is truly ready for the market.
CyberTribu was created to meet this need, as a start-up factory that works alongside entrepreneurs on creative and technological aspects.
Working with early-stage teams, first-time founders, or entrepreneurs who want to test new business models means navigating a fragile area of the entrepreneurial journey, where the ‘vision’ is there, but often the structure and tools to turn it into a ‘project’ are lacking.
The method is simple: join projects as a creative and technological partner, accompany them from the definition of the business model to the development of the MVP, up to the initial stages of market validation. In some cases, CyberTribu also chooses to participate in equity, while leaving the majority to the founder. A positioning choice: not to ‘acquire start-ups’, but to help them grow by sharing risk and responsibility. The founder remains at the centre of the project, while CyberTribu becomes its operational engine.
The work begins well before the code. It starts with problem analysis and market validation, then metrics, MVP and go-to-market path are built. CyberTribu works as an extension of the team: it brings technological expertise, product vision and executive capabilities to reduce the randomness typical of the early stages and transform initial energy into a structured process.
This approach has already given rise to operational realities in diverse sectors: such as Dividendo, management software for construction companies and artisans; QRDoc, a platform for document management via QR codes; LockTime, a cloud-native web app for time certification with legal value; IppoFarm, a SaaS solution for the digitisation of pharmacies and medical practices; Novus.Coach, a platform that integrates training, community and digital tools for coaching. And many others. Different fields, but the same logic: solving a concrete problem through scalable technology.
In a context where many start-ups are born with the urgent need to ‘scale up immediately’, CyberTribu goes almost against the grain: build well before growing. The agency operates from Genoa and works on national and international projects, combining start-up factory activities with open innovation and community building initiatives.
CyberTribu is neither a traditional accelerator nor a software house. It is a start-up factory that selects projects in which to invest time, expertise and, when appropriate, relational capital and equity.
