Pierpaolo Padula

Principal

Pierpaolo invests in early-stage HealthTech and Enabling Tech, viewing digital solutions as essential infrastructure for sustainable healthcare systems. He backs founders using software and data to remove structural bottlenecks, with a focus on digital enablers that expand system capacity, improve efficiency, and support long-term resilience.

His perspective is shaped by a career at the intersection of clinical technology and commercial strategy. He began at Baxter Healthcare, working on medical innovation driven by unmet clinical needs, before pivoting to strategy consulting at Board of Innovation, where he helped global organizations design and launch complex healthtech propositions. He later moved into venture capital with CRB HealthTech, where he played a key role in establishing a €50M digital health fund.

This background allows Pierpaolo to act as a dual-lens partner for founders, combining the ability to stress-test a product’s biomedical foundations with the commercial discipline required for scale. He is particularly helpful to teams navigating the transition from development to commercialization, ensuring that strong technology is matched with a robust, capital-efficient path to market.

Outside of work, you will likely find him in his kitchen, where he spends long hours experimenting with ancient ingredients and family recipes, enjoying the craft of “slow” creation while cooking for his wife, his little one, and their friends.

Pierpaolo holds a BSc and MSc in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and an MBA from ESADE Business School.
