CUBE STARS IN THE WOODS

Rancilio Cube SICAF had the pleasure of hosting an exclusive and immersive evening at the prestigious La Cantalupa, set in the tranquil countryside near Milan.

Designed for an intimate audience of investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, the event offered a unique opportunity to engage with the evolving world of Innovation and Venture Capital in a refined and inspiring setting.

The evening centered around a high-level panel discussion that explored the future of innovation investment across three powerful dimensions—strategic capital, entrepreneurial vision, and industrial transformation.

We were honored to welcome:



Klaus Hommels, Founder of Lakestar and one of Europe’s most influential venture capitalists, who opened the evening with a strategic keynote on the role of innovation in wealth preservation and growth for Family Offices and High Net Worth Individuals. His talk emphasized the transformative potential of technology-led investments in an increasingly fast-paced world.



David Nothacker, Co-Founder and CEO of Sennder, Europe’s leading digital freight-forwarding company, who shared his entrepreneurial journey—building a tech-driven logistics platform that now spans 11 countries, with over $350 million raised. His story reflected the power of innovation to reinvent traditional industries.



Luca Rancilio, Founder of Rancilio Cube, offered a compelling narrative of transformation—from his roots in the industrial manufacturing of coffee machines to becoming one of Italy’s foremost innovation investors. His experience underscored the importance of vision, adaptability, and strategic risk-taking in driving long-term value.



Adding depth to the evening, Giancarlo Rocchietti presented his newly released book, "L’Occhio della Tigre", a personal reflection on the entrepreneurial mindset and the unique art of doing business in today’s complex environment.



The panel was moderated by Inès Makula, host of the acclaimed Made IT podcast, known for spotlighting Italian entrepreneurship. Her thoughtful guidance brought the discussion to life, weaving together diverse perspectives into a cohesive and forward-looking conversation.

The evening was a curated journey of insight and inspiration—a sophisticated blend of thought leadership, compelling storytelling, and strategic vision, designed to spark conversation and build meaningful connections among those shaping the future of innovation and investment.
