What an amazing experience has just come to an end with the closing of the Silicon Valley Fellowship April batch.
The last days have been an incredible concentrate of #learning, #inspiration and #energy. We had the occasion to learn from the experience of people that chosen to live in a place that offers immense opportunities but, at the same time, represents the most competitive environment in the world…
Simone
For the first time in my life, I truly understood what does it mean to be EAGER TO LEARN.
Previous to the Silicon Valley Fellowship, I have never been with a group of so many bright, curious and talented people such as the one I found in San Francisco.
We met outstanding mentors and we have never left them without asking thousands of questions, about their job, their background or their advice for us.
I had a lot of time to reflect and think about my life goals and my passions. I understood that the only recipe to have success in life is to be working on something you really like and to be surrounded by people you really love. Only in this way we can truly learn and dream…
Alessandra
Another day, another adventure. First day of the Silicon Valley Fellowship kicks off strong with Google. Surrounded by innovation, this place is a mind-blowing💣. Thank you Dario Gentiletti for the amazing tour!
Davide
It has been one week since I got back to Italy, and I needed the last few days to take all in the invaluable experience that the Silicon Valley Fellowship was. During a five-days bootcamp, I was able to listen and question amazingly driven individuals that operate in Silicon Valley, who exposed me to completely different backgrounds and experiences and from which I could grasp invaluable insights…
Francesca
I am thrilled to share that I've been chosen for the Silicon Valley Fellowship. Huge thanks to Erick Turricelli and Gomry for this incredible opportunity!
This experience has taught me the importance of proactively creating opportunities to reach my goals, which is why I'm diving into this program. I'm eager to build my own network and gain invaluable experiences from determinant and ambitious people.
Stefano
It’s been 3 days since I returned to Italy after participating to the Silicon Valley Fellowship of April. I needed a few days to realize everything that happened this week.⏳
First of all, I want to say thank you to Ligeia Remonato, Erick Turricelli, Tommaso Tosi and the whole Gomry team for making this experience something memorable.
Then I would like to thank the mentors I met this week for teaching us so much (Giacomo Marini Alessandro Solbiati Dario Gentiletti Carlo Tedesco Andrea Esposito Daniele Viappiani) your advice and dedication have been a great inspiration to me. It was an honor meeting you…
Anđela
Being part of a Silicon Valley Fellowship program allowed me to be at the heart of global innovations. During this program, I gained invaluable insights, broader perspective on innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship from iconic tech companies like Google and Meta, the prestigious Stanford University, as well as from leading VC firms. All this ignited my curiosity even further 🚀
The most impactful part of this journey was the incredible people I met along the way. Their curiosity, intelligence, and commitment to making the world a better place were truly inspiring. We shared ideas, dreams, and aspirations, forming connections that I believe will last a lifetime ✨🤝 …

Some fresh thoughts after an incredible week spent around San Francisco with the Silicon Valley Fellowship, an immersive program based on visits to big tech companies, mentorship sessions, and meetings with founders, professionals and investors.
Here are some take-home messages I will bring with me after this experience:
👥 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆: The ability of SV to attract a high density of talents and consistent capital ensures that new technologies can emerge almost daily. Spontaneous brainstorming sessions in front of a glass of wine in a bar are commonplace, highlighting how innovation is not just a job but part of daily life…
Giuseppe
Bits of the last seven days spent in the San Francisco Bay Area. Where to start?
Thanks to Silicon Valley Fellowship, I had the chance to visit for the first time in my life the USA, and not just as a tourist! In these days I learned first-hand insights from Silicon Valley-based Tech professionals, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists…
Joseph
After a short but intense week i have just finished the Silicon Valley Fellowship.
I could never have imagined that a short time such as six days could be so impactful and completely change my perception of myself and the world.
In these six days, I had the opportunity to talk to and hear the stories of amazing individuals who work in Silicon Valley…

Ormai una settimana fa io e Alberto siamo tornati da San Francisco
Ed è stato come svegliarsi da un 𝑠𝑜𝑔𝑛𝑜 🔮
Abbiamo passato 9 giorni tra Palo Alto e SF ad un ritmo frenetico, in una città che vive 10 anni in avanti rispetto all’Italia
Immersi in un ambiente pieno di stimoli, di #idee e di #sogni, e circondati da persone e ragazzi ambiziosi: non ci siamo fermati mai.
Abbiamo partecipato alla Silicon Valley Fellowship, un programma di mentorship che ci ha permesso di conoscere le eccellenze italiane in Silicon Valley.
Tra visite a big tech, sessioni di #mentorship e incontri con founder di successo il mio piano di fare contenuti in tempo reale è sfumato.
Nel contempo ho assorbito, ripreso e imparato il più possibile per raccontare tutto al meglio ora, una volta tornati, come promesso…

Sharing my incredible experience as a participant in the Silicon Valley Fellowship! 💫
Two months ago, I had the opportunity to visit some of the most significant Tech companies such as Google, Meta, and Juniper Networks, as well as the prestigious Stanford University and leading VCs.
I am so grateful I had the pleasure of meeting such great people there. Together we have shared our experience, ideas, and vision.
Big thanks to Coinis and Glosarij d.o.o. for their unwavering support, in making this experience possible. Additionally, I extend my sincere gratitude to American Chamber of Commerce in Montenegro and its Executive Director Marko Mirocevic for their continuous support. 🇲🇪
Special thanks to Erick Turricelli, Ligeia Remonato, and the entire Gomry team for organizing this outstanding program. 🚀🇺🇸
Riccardo
The starting point? Having an idea. Easy. I needed to fly to Silicon Valley to truly understand what it takes to make the next step, by listening to passionate and driven people who have been willing to sleep in garages, to be out of money and therefore eat instant noodles, to bet everything on a flight to SF.
Silicon Valley Fellowship gave me the opportunity of questioning, strengthen my perspective and learning…

Silicon Valley Fellowship: day 1 🚀🇺🇸
As promised, I’ll keep you updated on how this week in #SiliconValley goes. Today it was the first day and it was actually pretty insane! 🤩
During the morning we went to Meta headquarters and we had the opportunity to understand what does it mean to work there, how can you get a job there and what is Meta doing within the startup ecosystem. Thanks Alessandro Solbiati for hosting us, it was a pleasure!…
Marco
Silicon Valley Fellowship day 2 & 3 🇺🇸🚀
The adventure in #SiliconValley is still on: we spent most of these two days at 44 Montgomery, Gomry headquarters ✨
During the first day Erick Turricelli, Co-Founder of Gomry and president at Silicon Valley Fellowship explained us how and why they decided to launch Gomry first and SVF then. This was a special speech for me, as I spent three years studying and living with Erick in Almo Collegio Borromeo and seeing what he achieved made me so proud 💪🏻…

Time flies when you grow up and have fun.
This experience has been truly enriching and extraordinary, thanks to the people who were part of it Silicon Valley Fellowship.
This was a great opportunity for Go Healthy & Co to elevate to the next level. We have the potential to positively impact the mental health of many people.
First of all, thanks to Gomry for organizing this fantastic event and Tommaso Tosi…

Thrilled to announce that today marks the beginning of my journey joining the Silicon Valley Fellowship!
As one of the fortunate individuals selected for the fellowship program, I have the unique opportunity to immerse myself in the heart of innovation, connecting with top-tier managers, founders, and investors in Silicon Valley.
It's my first time in America, and it's incredible to be here, pursuing something I've always dreamed of.
Lorenzo
It’s been an incredible week in the heart of Silicon Valley. First of all, thanks to Silicon Valley Fellowship for this incredibile opportunity.
I've walked down towards the streets of San Francisco alongside talented guys, who became friends, and from whom I've learned how to challenge myself and how to keep growing. I feel that I’ve learned so much from you all.
Furthermore, I've had the pleasure to meet extraordinary people who shape the trajectory of the future. It's difficult to summarize in a bunch of words what I've learned, but I love model a part of the vision each of them has imparted to me, and so I'll try…

Last month I spent 15 days in Silicon Valley
Here are a few learnings I wanted to share:
1. Your environment is crucial
You MUST pay attention to the people around you,
you're the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
Also try to make sure you have the resources you need.
2. Failure is part of the process
try ➞ fail ➞ learn ➞ iterate ➞ succeed
3. No magic formula
There's no shortcut, just
work. work. work. work. work. work. work. work.
4. Dream big
How big would you dream if you knew you couldn't fail?
here comes the famous "go big or go home"
5. Be humble
You're NEVER the biggest player in the room
(unless you're Elon)
But don't be too humble or you'll disappear...
