A student from Rome can meet an investor from New York and create a team with someone in Tokyo

When I think about Rovo, it's the platform I wish I had when I was younger. I've always had ideas, probably too many, but most of them stayed locked in my head & never became real.

A couple of years ago, I was working on a project I really believed in. The idea was great, but that's when I realized how hard it actually is to find the right people: people who care, who understand, who want to build with you. It wasn't about talent, in some moments I just wanted to hear "Hey man, cool idea, let's do it!"

That's when I understood what was missing: a space built for people who want to make business easier, where it doesn't matter how long is your CV or who are you connected with.

ROVO's goal is to make it easy to connect, collaborate, and create across borders. If you can't find the right cofounder, teammate, or investor in your city, why not connect with the rest of the world?

I still believe in this generation, in people who want to do. We live in a world obsessed with status and titles. Everywhere you look, it's about what school you went to or what job you have on your résumé. We don't care about your titles, we care about you and your potential.

To me, business shouldn't be complicated or elitist. It should be creative, global, and open to everyone who wants to make something real. ROVO is my way of creating a space where ideas don't just stay as ideas. Where people can finally find each other & start building the future, together.
