What Obloo Ventures does

Obloo Ventures is an Italian venture capital and venture builder founded in 2022 and headquartered in Milan, operating at the intersection of technology transfer, deep tech investing, and startup creation. The firm's stated focus areas are deep technology sectors including AI, robotics, semiconductors, and quantum computing, with portfolio activity concentrated in Italian and pan-European early-stage companies. Its most concrete disclosed operation is a €3.15 million co-investment into Adaptronics, a Bologna-based deeptech startup developing electro-adhesive grippers for industrial automation and space robotics, executed alongside 360 Capital and Galaxia in November 2025.

Beyond direct investing, Obloo has positioned itself as a platform-builder inside the European deep tech ecosystem. It co-founded Galaxia, a Technology Transfer Hub for Aerospace, together with CDP Venture Capital's Tech Transfer fund, creating a structured origination channel for university and research-center spin-outs in the aerospace and space-robotics verticals. The firm was also included in the EIB Group's €2.4 billion InvestEU financing operations announced at Hannover Messe in April 2026, which span robotics and AI in Germany, university spin-outs in Ireland and Sweden, and advanced computing in Italy, placing Obloo alongside institutional partners such as Commerzbank, Atlantic Bridge, and Turbine Capital.

Obloo is a privately held firm with 1-10 employees, led by Managing Partner Roberto Della Marina. The firm does not publicly disclose fund size, AUM, management fees, or investment terms, and no revenue figure is available in the source data. Its revenue mechanics therefore cannot be triangulated from public sources; the operating model is consistent with a small, thesis-driven European deep tech fund leveraging institutional co-investors for deal scale rather than deploying large proprietary capital pools.
