Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Giannone is a software engineer and serial founder with over a decade of hands-on experience building web platforms, leading engineering teams, and launching MVPs that scale. Based in Dubai, he blends technical leadership (CTO/Lead Developer roles) with practical venture experience, having spent four years selecting, investing in, and mentoring early-stage startups to successful seed closes. He has shipped high-concurrency systems (live streaming for 5,000+ simultaneous users), led product and field deployments in challenging contexts (population register and COVID survey apps in Somalia), and repeatedly turned product vision into measurable user and revenue growth. Marco is fluent in Agile/Scrum practices, has taught and designed incubation curricula, and has a track record raising pre-seed capital and executing go-to-market traction rapidly. His background spans full-stack engineering, product ownership, and investor-facing diligence—an uncommon mix that helps him bridge engineering execution with fundraising and corporate partnerships.
