Storming Pizza Winter Pre-Accelerator | H-FARM

8-minute pitches from the best startups: meet the students selected for our Winter Pre-Accelerator.

Supporting startups and new ventures is part of our DNA. Did you know that, in our first 10 years, we invested €28 million in 128 startups, with a return of over €40 million in 2023? Among our initiatives to nurture entrepreneurship is Storming Pizza, our event format, born in 2011, that gives visibility to the next generation of entrepreneurs and creates networking opportunities with experts and anyone who wants to create and seize new opportunities – over a pizza.🍕 Depop, Italy's second unicorn, was born right out of a Storming Pizza! On February 7, we met the 6 startups selected for the Winter edition of the Pre-Accelerator, the program developed by our Startup Center to help H-FARM College students turn ideas into entrepreneurial projects.
