Italy-focused BAs and early stage VCs in the NY Area

Hi all,I'll be in NY for three full days (July 14-16), and I'm trying to plan in advance the possibility to pitch BAs and early-stage VCs potentially interested in investing into fhoster.com, an Italian startup in the Application PaaS (cloud-computing) space.We are pre-revenue and we're based in Italy (and I'm aware that both these points are not really good ones) but the technology we have developed is cool and it enables a pretty unique marketing strategy. Also the platform is ready for demo,…See More

Bringing my kids to the US

Hi all,I'm planning a 2-weeks trip to the US, and I would like to bring my kids (11 and 9 years old) with me and my wife. Both the kids have their pictures on my passport, which is valid for the US.I'm confused about the new Visa Waiver Program, allowing me and my wife to get an electronic authorization (instead of the traditional "visto") on the ESTA web site (http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/).By reading this web page…See More

Ciao Marika. I was quickly going through your linkedin profile and I just I stumbled upon the "methodology to measure innovation" you're working on. I would be interested in knowing more about that, maybe you can share the basics here…

You're right, Franco, and the video is outdated in this regard. We had a stand at SMAU, last october, and we have been surprised by the interest of small software houses. We decided to change our BP and focus a lot more on micro-ISV and…

How do you present UML to end-users such as accountants or executives? In my experience is not the most natural way of interacting with a problem unless the person has a good technical background.

Profile Information

Job Title:: CEO

Company:: fhoster.com

City:: Rome

Country:: Italy

About Me:: I’m an Electronic Engineer (a software engineering degree was not an option in Rome back in 1992, when I graduated) but I’m in software development since 1983 (my first game, fillerball ) . Once graduated I’ve been working for the European Space Agency for a few years (one year at the ESTEC center in Holland), and then 1995 I co-founded my first company (INTEGRA Sistemi) focused on the development of large information systems (government, ticketing, command&control, defense, etc.). Both my first two companies are up and running, but all my efforts and passion is now on the new baby (fhoster.com), a cloud-computing platform with an alternative approach to the development of business-grade database applications. Since 2003 I also teach Software Engineering as a contract professor at the University of Perugia. Favourite sports: paragliding, windsurfing, skiing, scuba-diving and in-line skating.

thank you for thinking of me!:-)..and in my project. Unfortunately, as you told me, it's quite distant from my really subject of interest, and without any real scientific approach for measurement. Anyway, interesting to read, maybe it can help me to "create" something".
Are you currently in SF BayArea?
