Massimo Sgrelli
Massimo has over 25 years of experience in the tech industry. He started his career at one of the big-five consulting firms, where he developed B2B scalable architectures for the Internet.
Over the years, Massimo has founded multiple companies in Europe and the United States and has been investing in Silicon Valley startups since 2010. Notably, he was the first angel investor in Kong Inc. and also co-founded Sysdig Inc., a cloud security company in San Francisco, both of which are in the unicorn club.
Massimo's investment interests lie in the software market, particularly in developer tools, infrastructure software, open-source, and API-first companies. In 2017, he co-founded Lombardstreet Ventures in Menlo Park, CA.
Seed-stage investment is a founder-first business. You look for engineers that keep going and never give up. Creating a long-lasting company takes time, sacrifice, and the will to take care of many people.
