How It Works – The Arditi Process

At Arditi, we partner with daring founders who have the courage to change the game. Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and founder-friendly, giving ambitious teams a clear path to potential funding, support, and growth. We’re here for those who dare to dream BIG - and we're here to give them a fair fighting chance to make those dreams come true!

Here's how it works:

  1. Deal Introduction - Gets sourced by either the Core Team or a trusted VC (Founders cannot apply directly)

  2. Preparation - The startup and VC complete the Arditi Form. Our team prepares the deal for a VC-friendly screening, using our model.

  3. Presentation & Process - The VC presents the deal to the Collective. After a 72-hour interest window, we follow a streamlined process:

  • Week 1: Founder–VC calls

  • Week 2: Cross-VC note exchange

  • Weeks 3-4: Commitment period

Value-Add Contributions – Members share soft commitments and non-material value-add.

  1. Finalization – Capital commitments and value-add contributions are confirmed by founders.

This kind of structure ensures the merit-driven collaboration between not only start-ups and VCs, but also a mutual alignment between co-investors in order to ensure the mutual success of all participants. O la vittoria, o tutti accoppati! (“We either win, or we all die”)
