Genesis

The seven permanent categories of company that Fucina Nexus Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in Rome, keeps under the name Genesis.

The Seven Archetypes

Permanent categories of company, one per fundamental problem of the emerging economy. More archetypes may join over the years through additional programmes — Genesis opens with seven. Each can host more than one company.

Each archetype is one aspect of a single investment thesis — the Manifesto states it in full.

The Genesis Portfolio shows what is already built or in build: every archetype has a named first product, each at its own stage.

Two ways in

An archetype can host more than one company. A founder brings an idea and builds inside one of them; an investment fund co-invests at pre-seed across them.
