We explore the Italian territory, in collaboration with Universities and Research Institutes as well, identifying the best business ideas in different sectors with the objective to support and facilitate their growth by providing financial support and management competences.

If you are an already-established team or business and you are in the startup or early stage, you strongly believe in your entrepreneurial project and you have the figures to prove it but you could really use capitals and competences to accelerate the achievement of your objectives then you have the right cards in your hand to contact us. Come forward.

Since 2010, R1's logo clearly states “Enhance Innovation”. Business and the world are ever more characterized by rapid changes that reflect on the global scale impacting both on the social and the business structures. The Italian companies' market, grown for too many years within its own national boundaries must cope today with different dynamics and competitors located thousands of miles away. To know how to innovate oneself means, above all, to redesign one's own business model updating it to the new commercial and organizational paradigms and then to know how to identify and consequently use all the tools needed to implement it.

If you are a consolidated SME but you perceive the need to lengthen your stride or stand out from your competitors to reconquer or expand your market shares or you are a young business with excellent perspectives but in need of some “tuning” of your internal processes then you are in the right place. R1 may support you both in the analysis and the reconfiguration stages of your strategic growth model and in the research and implementation of all the necessary tools and processes to be able to implement it as well as possible. To innovate is to grow, contact us now.

The correct dimensioning of the financial requirements of a business, locating resources and subsequently managing them are critical factors for one's business success. These aspects, more than often underestimated, unless correctly managed, are a reason to slow down business growth or even lead to stagnation or failure.

As the official Advisor of MDC Investments Limited and by means of our contact with other VCs and Business Angels, R1 is able to support you in the identification of partners or of financial tools that better suit your needs, in the preparation of business plans and the correlated documents needed to correctly present your business to potential financiers and eventually to manage and optimize the use of the financial resources obtained through the adequate planning and control instruments. If you think that obtaining funds for your business is impossible ... think again and contact us; we will check the feasibility together.

To know how to innovate efficiently, to know the instruments and the ways to do it and to set constant innovation cycles all derive from targeted specifications and methodologies.

At R1 we strongly believe in innovation as a key factor to create competitive advantage and we seek every day to identify useful situations and events to disseminate this knowledge and culture. We are actively involved with Universities, Research Institutes, Schools, Associations and Foundations in road shows and seminars dedicated to the innovation theme to identify new innovative entrepreneurs as well as to illustrate our perspective to people and entrepreneurs who have not yet seized how important it is for them to enhance this aspect of their activity.
