The story that unites us

Aristos is a consulting company working on non-dilutive European funding since 2011. Giacomo, recently arrived from Italy, joined the team of consultants in 2016, enjoying from the first moment the challenge to obtain financing for start-ups and SMEs from various sectors. In 2018, Marcos entered the company as Executive Director and decided to change direction, and use his experience in the world of business and marketing consulting to promote innovation in the European business world.Since Marcos and Giacomo joined as partners and decided to acquire the company, ARISTOS has become closer to the financing needs of startups and SMEs by focusing more on a business approach.

Since the day Giacomo and Marcos met, they have not stopped enjoying working together. There are things that unite them like: seeing amazing innovations every day and knowing that we are helping the most courageous entrepreneurs in Europe. But they also have fun discussing whether Spanish or Italian food is the best in the world or whether it is more productive to start the day at 6 am or stay working until 11 pm.
