Divergent thinking that creates innovation

Massimiliano Magrini is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of United Venture, a Milan-based independent venture capital firm founded in 2013 that invests in people and technology. Their Manifesto reads: we are a venture capital firm that supports visionary entrepreneurs in reinventing companies through technology. Magrini's words are not confined only to the philosophy of "venture capital" but become an important opportunity to reflect on the soul of those who wish to innovate. Among the key elements are the need to follow one's own path without others dictating it and the continuous search for divergent thinking that creates discontinuity and change, as he recounts in the essay "Fuori dal gregge" (Egea). For Massimiliano, who has a distinguished track record in leading international technology companies, a key component is motivation, which enables the brightest minds to always bring something different to the table-and to react in the face of difficulties.
