Geographic focus: Primarily Italian and European tech startups, with the platform supporting companies as they scale internationally . P101 has operated with an international lens from the start, while PranaVentures was purely Italy-focused .

Operational VC model: PranaVentures brought an "operational VC" approach — providing hands-on technical and operational support to seed-stage founders, not just capital . This model is now embedded across the combined platform .
