Angel Investor
Selected portfolio
Companies and protocols Giorgio has backed as an angel investor, where his legal and product work has intersected with the markets they operate in.
The thesis is narrow. Giorgio backs early-stage teams building the infrastructure of digital asset markets - voluntary carbon and ReFi, base-layer and scaling networks, stablecoins and settlement rails, decentralized compute, derivatives and DEX architecture, and on-chain analytics - where regulatory design is as load-bearing as the code.
Conviction, not volume, drives the selection. Giorgio writes small, holds long, and picks teams whose founding edge is legal, regulatory, or market-structural. Many of the positions below date back to the 2021-2023 window and have weathered multiple market regimes; a few are strategic follow-ons in protocols he has advised or helped structure.
Where Giorgio serves an operating role - founder, advisor, head of legal - in the same company, that mandate is disclosed on the About page and takes precedence over the angel position. Logos link to the official site of each project.
