Miami as a new hub for innovation and growth of Italian startups
In a context where the Italian VC market is stagnating or growing slowly, for Italian startups, internationalization is no longer an option but a necessity. However, the leap abroad is often met with fear or tackled without a solid strategy. The United States — and specifically Miami — now represent a privileged gateway to dynamic capital and new industrial and commercial opportunities, both in the North American market and in Latin America.
This speech presents the Move2USA program, launched by FoolFarm in 2024 as a quarterly model of simple, concrete, and scalable internationalization, designed to guide Italian startups through a structured path that combines fundraising, networking, PoC, and go-to-market. During the presentation, the concrete results of the missions carried out between 2024 and 2025 will also be shared, which have already allowed several Italian startups to cross national borders and begin operations in the U.S. market.
A real opportunity to scale in the world's most liquid and competitive markets, with method, speed, and vision, avoiding the typical mistakes of hasty expansion.
