In 2019, we launched MPD SME Capital One, a vehicle that gathers a network of VC/SME investing adepts looking to be part of a new community stimulated by direct investing. MPD SME Capital One (MSCO) is a cutting-edge investment vehicle shared with highly skilled investors, based on an innovative governance and value creation model. The goal of MSCO is to select, manage and create value by digitalizing and technologically innovating SMEs operating in “low-tech” and traditional sectors through the development of innovative processes, services and products with a high technological value. MSCO performs a detailed and investment-driven screening activity of potential targets, submitting SMEs investment cases to shareholders that have the opportunity to provide their green light on SME investment and on value creation plan through technological development and big-data analytics to enhance business development. As of today, MPD SME Capital One has 1 company in its portfolio and 1 company under advanced negotiation.
