Visible Hands is a venture capital firm on a mission to highlight and invest in the limitless potential of overlooked founders. We envision a world where talent and execution - not race or gender - are the key predictors for success. Our Manifesto Our world is changing. Our communities are changing - they are becoming stronger and more vibrant in their diversity, and face fresh possibilities and challenges as a new generation looks increasingly different from the last. We believe that as new opportunities arise, anyone should have the chance to seize them. The best solutions come from those closest to the problem - as our problems evolve, so should the problem-solvers. We believe that investing in women, people of color, and other underrepresented groups is key to creating a more prosperous and equitable future for everyone. We celebrate the bold, the curious, and the irrational. We applaud those with big dreams, and who choose the harder, riskier path in relentless pursuit of pushing forward what is possible. We also acknowledge that being a risk-taker often comes from a position of privilege - opportunity and wealth gaps persist along racial and gender lines, and access to financial and social capital too often determines which ideas are nurtured to grow. We believe that we must first acknowledge that the playing field was built to be unequal in order to change it. We know that we must change it. High-growth entrepreneurship should not be reserved for the privileged few. We need to shine a light inwards on our collective blindspots, and cast out a wider and more inclusive net to find and support existing talent. Instead of relying on unseen market forces, we’re taking matters into our own hands. No one should have to look a certain way to be deemed deserving; great entrepreneurs are all around us but we must choose to see them. By sharing our privileges with those not born into it and manufacturing fairness where it doesn’t yet exist, we can fundamentally change access to wealth and opportunity in this generation. This is our open call for anyone who feels stuck on the outside looking in: We see you. We value you. We need you. Your perspective is unique, your lived experience is invaluable, and your potential is limitless. Never doubt that your voice matters and that you deserve to be heard, even if it can feel like it doesn’t. We believe that good ideas, regardless of who or where they come from, should rise to the top, and we will fight alongside you to get them there.

Lirica Capital is our holding, investing in all new ventures we build. From 250k up to 500k € as pre-seed investment to guarantee a fast-paced beginning and avoid the trouble of raising capital during early phases for our co-founders. With Lirica Capital we have been joined by successful entrepreneurs and managers who invest and share their resources to support our new ventures, driven by their will to generate an impact for our country. Platformization is still going on Feat. Ventures co-creates and invests in digital companies with a platform-based business model that have the potential to enhance ordinary analog processes. Through the years we specialized in understanding and satisfying the collateral needs of customers and companies, while they are focused on their most relevant one, this is what we call a platform-based model. The rapid success of AirBnB, Amazon, Uber, eBay and countless others, prove that platforms are indisputably the leading form of organizing modern digital markets, whose value is expected to grow from $7,000bn in 2018 to $60m000bn by 2025. Despite the platform model having already spread in multiple areas, it is rapidly finding its way into a broader range of sectors.
