Chapter 01
Design
I don't just write projects: I design them. I take an intuition that still has no shape and turn it into a structure that stands on its own — objectives, partners, resources, timelines, return. Then I take it to meet the money it needs to exist.
EU grant design
This is the craft where a project meets public money. I work on directly-managed European programmes and on national and regional funds: building the partnership, the theory of change, the work plan, the budget, writing the proposal — and then the part almost nobody talks about: managing and reporting what you have won. A project that is funded but badly reported is a project lost twice.
Erasmus+
Cooperation partnerships, mobility, projects for sport and for adult education.
Calls and measures
Regional and ministerial calls, chamber-of-commerce measures, the Italian recovery plan, funds for the third sector, culture and sport. Tax credits and subsidised finance.
Management and reporting
Timeline, indicator monitoring, administrative management, reporting on actual or flat-rate costs.
The desks
A funding call only truly exists if it reaches those entitled to it. That's why I design permanent desks: structures that watch the opportunities, read them, filter them against the profile of whoever will receive them, and deliver them in a form people can understand. Not a list of links — a considered selection.
ACIO+ · automatic matching
A SaaS that matches organisations — amateur sports clubs, non-profits, SMEs — with open calls, using AI-based scraping and monitoring agents and automated document production.
Region-by-region briefs
Newsletter summaries and in-depth PDF sheets on each measure: ceilings, funding terms, what it covers and what it doesn't.
Desks for associations and networks
The same model replicated for federations, promotion bodies, business consortia and public administrations.
Business and innovation
From idea to company
Business-model validation, defining the offer, corporate structure, pricing and a growth plan. I walk founders from the first hypothesis to the first paying customer.
Innovation inside the company
I rethink the processes, products and models of companies that really need to innovate: new services, new markets, digitalisation, emerging technologies applied to real business.
Third sector and sport
Sports reform, statutes and association governance, relations with federations and promotion bodies, facility management. Ten years as legal representative on the field, not on paper.
Tokenisation of real-world assets
Since 2024Blockchain applied to property, rights and communities: token structure, the MiCA framework, music royalties. Two books and the Token Expert Institute were born here.
Fundraising and crowdfunding
Campaigns, donor networks, crowdfunded formats. Trained at Luiss, three crowd-funded TV formats.
