Tulip Ventures

Everyone dreams of being an entrepreneur. But very few start before they're ready. Last saturday, WeTalkfinance interviewed someone who took action before fear could catch up: Giovanni Antonelli. Co-founder and Chairman of Tulip Ventures and Fund Strategy Director at ASIF Ventures, Giovanni is thriving at the intersection of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital — two worlds that are more connected than most people realize. Building Tulip Ventures from scratch and serving as its Chairman gave Giovanni hands-on skills that every aspiring entrepreneur needs. And ASIF Ventures?  It offers something truly rare: the chance to act as a General Partner at a real pre-seed VC fund — while still a student.  Negotiating deals.  Running portfolio management.  Having the final say on investments.  (Way beyond the typical VC internship experience.) The best part?  → Both Tulip Ventures and ASIF Ventures are hiring new board members right now!
