This week’s interview with Carolina Montagna, CEO of B Heroes, explores how she is transforming early-stage venture capital through a community-driven investment model. Carolina shares her journey from strategic consulting and investment banking to venture capital, where she discovered the power of founder support beyond just capital. Under her leadership, B Heroes has evolved from an accelerator into a highly connected investment platform that leverages real-life events, expert networks, and peer-driven insights to identify and nurture promising startups. With a new €30M fund in progress, the firm is doubling down on AI and network-effect-driven businesses, providing Italian founders—both at home and abroad—with the capital and strategic backing they need to compete on a global scale. She also discusses the challenges of staying ahead in a rapidly shifting market and how B Heroes' unique sourcing and screening methods enable them to identify and support the next generation of breakout founders.
