LIFTT

LIFTT is an Italian venture capital firm founded in 2019 that invests in deep-tech startups. Its capital is deployed through an evergreen fund - a structure without a fixed term, allowing proceeds to be recycled rather than returned to investors on a set schedule - which backs businesses across four investment areas: critical resources; human health and aging; infrastructure for the data revolution; and energy security and industrial automation. The firm has been investing since 2019.

Alongside capital, LIFTT combines direct involvement, strategic guidance and practical support for founders, with the stated aim of carrying ambitious technologies from research into the market. LIFTT Tech Partners acts as strategic advisor to the evergreen deep-tech fund, in a partnership with Azimut Investments. Named technical domains of interest include deep tech, industrial automation, data infrastructure and human health and aging.

The firm describes its investment model as guided by environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles, weighing effects on communities, territories and the environment alongside financial returns. Its stated objective is to build competitive, sustainable companies with lasting impact; the founding partners established LIFTT with the intention that innovation should produce positive effects on their region and on people's lives.
