Hi, I'm Mattia!

I run a private markets firm in San Francisco, investing and structuring transactions in early to late stage startups.

For fun, I document the world's most extreme rituals, from fist fights in Bolivia to spirit mediums in Thailand. Stories that deserve to be told, way outside of our city bubbles. (sacratos.com)

I worked on AI weather models with one of my portfolio companies to enable weather modification and mitigate natural disasters. (recastsystems.com)

I managed $150m and backed companies like OpenAI, Anduril, SpaceX, SSI, xAI, Databricks, Plaid, Perplexity, and over 200 seed-stage YC startups. (1199capital.com)

A little further back, I co-founded a payments company with friends (idospay.com), briefly consulted for large public Italian firms (pwc.com), and ran a pickleball and tennis school, where I coached for a bit.
