What I'm building right now
What I'm pushing on right now, and what I've already wrapped up that got me here. Every project taught me something, some of them one painful mistake at a time 😅
Ongoing
play2match
Co-founder and CMO
The social sports platform for meeting new people by playing together. You show up alone, play on a team of strangers and leave with friends: strangers, teammates, friends.
It's my main job (and a bit of an obsession). Today we play in Bologna, Turin, Milan and Rome, and here on the site you'll find the diary of what it's like to build it.
Sprintaly
Co-founder and CMO
An association from Turin that runs hackathons for social innovation: young talent, a few days, one real challenge facing the country, picked together with citizens. If change doesn't come from the top, we'll make it from the bottom up.
After Chivasso in 2023, on school dropout, and Val Pellice in 2024, on polluted air in cities, March 2026 brought Connessioni di Quartiere to Turin, a hackathon for under-30s.
Wrapped up
Startability
Co-founder, together with Benedict Aleh Ogadinma
A project for green founders built around a podcast, Startability Stories, with the stories of 19 Italian green economy startups.
The podcast ran from June 2023 to January 2025. All the interviews are still out there to listen to.
