Interview to Rinaldo Sassi, CEO of Scouting Capital & Family Advisors
What does "entrepreneurship" mean to you?
Entrepreneurship is not so much about money itself, but rather the pleasure of building something meaningful.It means having a clear vision of how to allocate human, financial, and intellectual capital most efficiently to create long-term value. This value can only grow if you can attract and retain talents: people who can contribute to shared success by bringing out the best in themselves.
What are the values that distinguish Scouting Advisors in their approach to SMEs?
We may make mistakes, but we would never put our reputation on the line. For us, respect, honesty, and integrity are the foundations of success.That’s why we have chosen to operate under regulatory supervision, ensuring transparency and reliability in every operation. We seek lasting advantages for both ourselves and our clients.Long-term relationships are at the heart of our philosophy, allowing us to offer a comprehensive portfolio of investment banking services dedicated to the country's leading entrepreneurial families with total independence.We have always believed that international experience is a fundamental part of our approach: we collaborate with leading global advisors and players to offer a global perspective and tailored strategies.
When do companies benefit the most from your support (corporate changes, launching new products/services...)?
We stand by them during extraordinary moments, such as when they face complex operations like acquisitions, sales, or market listings.We listen to their projects, tackle challenges together with a critical mindset, and propose new opportunities to foster their growth, both in Italy and abroad.We don't just deal with financial figures: we are experienced professionals capable of building trust-based relationships and offering truly tailored support.
