Luca Venza

There is great life changing technology which can enhance human existence, and there is meaningless mundane technology which distracts society from a higher purpose.

Mr. Luca Venza (IESE MBA 2008) is a specialist in defining market-fit for advanced technologies across a broad industrial spectrum. For the past 6 years he has worked extensively with science backed startups and spinoffs to bring together top scientist-founders in their field, with top MBA talent worldwide. He has helped startups raise debt, equity and convertible financing from business angels, private investors, corporate venture capital and VCs. He helps recruit mixed experience management teams for new business ventures. In 2016, he founded the Barcelona Technology Transfer Group (BTTG), through which he has accelerated 19 companies across a spectrum of technologies, including data simulation, virtual reality, 3D printing, senors, data transmission, drones and blockchain.

In parallel, he works extensively with new healthcare technologies throughout the EIT Health network in innovation and business creation projects. He serves as a specialist mentor for the World Economic Forum, Invest Horizon and EIT Health.
