What we do

We invest in venture capital funds.

Rancilio Cube does not pick startups. We select the best international venture capital managers and commit capital to their funds, as a limited partner.

The funds, run by specialist teams, find and back the companies. Our investors reach a portfolio of top-tier funds, often closed to individuals, through one regulated vehicle.

Origins

From a family portfolio
to a regulated platform.

Rancilio Cube SICAF is the evolution of the international investment portfolio built over the years by the Rancilio family — today the platform's largest single investor and its long-term cornerstone.

What began as a family office strategy in global venture capital has been transformed into a fully regulated investment company, supervised by the Bank of Italy, opening access to a curated portfolio that was previously available only to a single family balance sheet.

Skin in the game
