S.I.L.V.I.A. is an innovative legal tech tool whose name is an acronym for "Supporting Innovation Leveraging Value In Advance". It identifies the dual purpose of supporting initiatives with high innovation value through financial investment, and then benefiting from their future appreciation.

Silvia was created by a team of experts, entrepreneurs, investors, legal and financial consultants, united by the desire to make a decisive contribution to unlocking the enormous potential of the Italian innovation ecosystem: "making innovation investment simpler, more transparent and manageable."

Startups and SMEs are the main hub where scientific and technological innovation converges before being channeled to the market. In recent years, more and more large and medium-sized companies prefer to delegate experimental, testing, fine-tuning, certification and market approach processes to the startup world, which are much better suited to a dynamic and lean structure. Despite the risks, they can represent an excellent investment with the possibility of rapid value growth.

Companies must meet several requirements, including: being supported by certified incubators (if innovative startups), not having ongoing insolvency proceedings, ensuring the integrity of shareholders, complying with regulatory requirements, possessing defensible assets and adhering to a path of transparency by sharing balance sheets and KPIs with investors.

Companies and individuals over 18 with an Italian tax code who pass a KYC procedure can invest. Startups organize investment rounds through invitations to potential investors, in compliance with applicable regulations (e.g. anti-money laundering).

Silvia uses equity-like financial instruments (SFP - Strumenti Finanziari Partecipativi) that allow raising capital while reducing the impact on governance and providing greater management freedom for investors.

No, Silvia is a standardized legaltech tool available to investors, key people and companies to define relationships according to principles of fairness.

The equity-like financial instrument (SFP) is a semi-equity instrument provided for by the Italian Civil Code that allows raising capital without immediately transferring company shares, while still offering financial rights to investors.

SFPs can be represented by digital tokens based on blockchain technology, facilitating transparency and transferability among investors.
