Dover Holding logo

We invest in companies and start-ups with a high potential for innovation.

I've always been passionate about managing companies and promoting their development. Over the years, alongside my role as a manager for Forti Holding, I have acted as an entrepreneur in tech companies. I believe the territory we live in is full of opportunities, and it is our duty to seize them to generate a strong value creation chain. Pisa and Tuscany can become centres of excellence for the industry of the future. Still, we can only win this battle if the team vision prevails over narrow, individualistic business visions.

Our investments

Made in Italy Fund II

Doveri Holding continues its investment diversification strategy by participating in the Made in Italy Fund II, the second Private Equity fund from Quadrivio & Pambianco, focused on the Fashion & Accessories, Design & Furniture, Beauty & Wellbeing, and Food & Beverage sectors.

The Italian fashion sector has always been a global benchmark for elegance, quality, and creativity. In an increasingly challenging competitive landscape, medium-sized companies in the Italian fashion, design, and beauty sectors have the potential to establish themselves globally thanks to their in-depth understanding of the key trends that will shape the future of the market.

By focusing on key success factors such as sustainability, personalization, omnichannel strategies, and above all, creativity and innovation, Italian companies can continue to write success stories on par with the renowned brands that make the Italian lifestyle recognizable around the world.

Sleepacta

Doveri Holding invested in Sleepacta, a spin-off company of the University of Pisa, which was born from the experience of a team of researchers, doctors, and engineers who have been studying sleep for years, from its role in the modulation of sports performance to its clinical impairment.

Sleepacta aims to contribute to people's well-being by increasing awareness of the importance of good sleep for health, simplifying the way it is measured through the development of innovative, large-scale screening techniques and technologies, capable of defining a new sleep atlas that can support the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that are often under-diagnosed.
