Simone Brunozzi is a seasoned technology leader and venture investor with 13 years of experience spanning cloud infrastructure, large-scale distributed systems, and startup operations. As Co-Founder and General Partner at Rialto Ventures and former Operating Partner at Cota Capital, he combines hands-on technical due diligence with deal sourcing and portfolio support across Europe. His earlier roles as AWS Technology Evangelist, VMware chief technologist, and CTO at multiple startups reflect deep expertise in cloud computing, data center architecture, and developer-facing evangelism. Simone has founded and scaled companies (Wedoit, Fabrica) and served in academic and government technical roles, demonstrating rare breadth from low-level systems programming to public-speaking and product strategy. Based in Venice, he pairs European market insight with a practitioner’s background in building internal products and mentoring startups. A less obvious strength is his ability to translate field feedback from large enterprise engagements into product and investment theses that drive technical and commercial outcomes.
