Based out of Milan, United Ventures focuses on supporting entrepreneurs who want to create innovative products and technologies. They recognise the challenges these entrepreneurs face and the desire to succeed in business. Their goal is to help promising companies reach their potential through mentorship and financial support.
The VC’s approach allows them to offer assistance and funding at various stages of a business’s development, including seed stage, early stage, and growth capital, for both new ventures and established companies entering new markets.
“At United Ventures, we believe the next frontier of automation will be defined not only by intelligent machines but by the software that enables them to think, act, and collaborate in the real world. That vision comes to life in Cyberwave, a company building the operating layer between AI agents and physical machines, a bridge between intelligence and action,” says United Ventures.
Others, including The Techshop SGR, Vento, Pi Campus, as well as business angels experts in AI and AI-driven manufacturing and its early partners, also participated.
The company will utilise the funds to expand its platform and enhance its impact by refining integrations with robotic and industrial systems.
It will also enter new sectors and international markets while building a strong team in Milan, Zurich, and San Francisco.
Cyberwave: Making automation frictionless
Founded by Simone Di Somma (Y Combinator alumnus, previously founded Askdata) and Vittorio Banfi (founded Botsociety), Cyberwave is on a mission to make advanced automation frictionless.
Simone and Vittorio first met in San Francisco years ago with different backgrounds, but a common mission — “to give builders superpowers and make intelligent automation accessible, safe, and useful” made them establish Cyberwave.
The company does it by developing a platform that connects robots, AI models, and enterprise systems, enabling industrial robots to form an interconnected, flexible workforce.
By reducing the complexity and cost of integrating robotic systems, Cyberwave allows manufacturers of all sizes to deploy automation faster and smarter.
Cyberwave’s technology integrates various hardware into one management and AI system, reducing development time from months to weeks.
This enables faster adaptation of projects for different robots and tasks, which is important for industries focused on quick ROI.
It is currently testing its technology in manufacturing, logistics, and inspection through pilot programs.
The company uses a modular design, AI controllers, and easy integration options, making its approach different from traditional system integrators.
“For years, we’ve watched AI get smarter — reasoning, planning, understanding context with uncanny precision. But there’s been a wall: a hard edge where intelligence stops and the physical world begins. Cyberwave exists to break down that wall. We’re building the bridge that lets developers move machines with the same confidence they deploy web services,” says Di Somma.
