Hi. I’m Silvano Coletti, a long-time catalyst of start-ups in clean tech and biotech in Europe and other markets, including North America and Africa.

My primary activity is the raising of capital for corporations and entrepreneurs in startup or advanced phases.  I provided advisory advisory leadership on more than 50 offerings, €15m – €60m in size.  Sometime I decided to invest in clients’ corporations guiding many of them as a board member.  My specialties are related to:

  • Business process and strategy development
  • Joint ventures & strategic partnerships
  • Fund raising
  • Acquisition negotiation & assimilation
  • Market analysis, penetration & expansion

With studies at School of Engineering of  Polytechnic of Milan and  executive education at Harvard Business School, today I do business under the name of  Chelonia SA- the Swiss advisory and investment firm where I’m responsible for managing raising platform which includes both retail and wholesale distribution. I oversee business development and product development.
