Forty.5 Ventures and Renovarum Capital Announce Strategic Partnership to Support Founders from Inception to Exit
A joint platform combining early-stage venture building and capital with corporate finance advisory, M&A, and co-investment solutions.
Belgrade & Milan, September 2026
Forty.5 Ventures, an early-stage venture builder and venture capital platform, and Renovarum Capital, an independent Italian investment banking boutique, today announced a strategic collaboration to create a seamless growth and financing pathway for entrepreneurs and companies across Europe and global markets.
Through this partnership, Forty.5 Ventures' F5V Build and F5V Capital will focus on backing exceptional founders at inception — providing a free venture builder, operational support, and early-stage capital to take ideas from Zero to One. Renovarum Capital and Renovarum Investments will complement this by offering corporate finance advisory, M&A and strategic consulting, and co-investment solutions for ventures and SMEs ready to scale, consolidate, or pursue international expansion and exit strategies.

"Founders need more than capital; they need a clear path from first insight to successful exit. By partnering with Renovarum, we're connecting our Zero to One venture-building engine with a best-in-class Italian corporate finance and private markets platform, giving our founders and portfolio companies a powerful bridge into European growth and liquidity events."
"Our mission is to help entrepreneurs and investors design and execute extraordinary transactions that create long-term value. Collaborating with Forty.5 Ventures allows us to engage even earlier with high-potential founders while offering them a structured roadmap for growth, aggregation, and exit when the time is right."
"We built Renovarum to give ambitious companies the strategic and financial tools to compete at the highest level. Partnering with Forty.5 Ventures extends that mission into the earliest stages of company building, where the right guidance can shape outcomes for years to come."
The partnership will initially focus on opportunities in select European markets, with plans to expand into cross-border transactions and sector-specific initiatives where both firms' expertise in data-driven businesses, digital transformation, and private markets can generate outsized impact.
