About

DDC Capital was created from a simple idea: to make it easier for ourselves and our friends to invest in outstanding private companies. What began as a way to access unique opportunities has grown into a community of co-investors who share a passion for innovation and long-term value creation.

Co-founded by:

Michele Simonato
Co-founder of Empatica, a med-tech company based at MIT

Andrea Ballarini
Co-founder of Eight Sleep and
Y Combinator alumnus.

Both Andrea and Michele are passionate investors, co-founders of unicorn companies, have lived and worked in Silicon Valley and other top innovation hubs, around the world.
They founded DDC Capital to create a win-win model that brings together like-minded investors to co-invest in the best companies of our time.
