Biography

Mr. Enrico Poli serves as Director at Zanichelli Venture. He also served as a Venture Partner at Emerge (VC). He serves as Director at Zanichelli Ventures. Previously he served as the Director, Educational Digital Products at Zanichelli. As the director of Zanichelli Venture, I'm looking for nascent companies who are tilling daring ideas about education and technology and searching for pre-seed or seed funding to grow these ideas into products empowering anyone - from children and parents to adult, professional lifelong learners and their mentors and coaches - to learn and teach better. Previously, along with a most awesome team of three, I sustained senior management at Zanichelli Editore in working out our digital strategy and I led the creation of a modern software house in the middle of our 150-year-old textbook publishing business, as a sort of in-house startup. I care about how people teach and learn, how they tackle complex or difficult information, and how they get to solve problems together. I study the ways new technologies can help and not hinder them. Education offers a critical testing ground.
