SAN FRANCISCO and PISA, Italy (PRWEB) May 22, 2018 -- Cloud4Wi, provider of the industry’s leading location service solutions, today announced that Andrea Calcagno, co-founder and CEO of Cloud4Wi, joined the network of Endeavor Italia, a non-profit organization that promotes economic growth, entrepreneurship and innovation by supporting high-potential entrepreneurs and helping them to scale globally.
During the recent International Selection Panel (ISP) in Louisville, Kentucky, Endeavor Global chose two highly valued entrepreneurs: Andrea Calcagno and Alberto Dalmasso--CEO of Satispay--to support their business development efforts.
"Calcagno and Dalmasso received a very positive final evaluation from an international panel made up of venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs, who analyzed the business strategy and recognized the growth potential of Cloud4Wi and Satispay," explains Raffaele Mauro, managing director of Endeavor Italia.
"We are thrilled to welcome these two entrepreneurs who, in leading innovative companies, are aiming to revolutionize the world of digital consumption and payments, improving not only the customer experience but also the merchants' proposal. There are numbers that prove it," adds Mauro. “Cloud4Wi connects over 100 million mobile users in about 30,000 locations and in 100 countries, collecting more than 7.5 million location data per month. Satispay has established itself as a driving force for the growth of 'instore' payments and with transactions amounting to over 35 million Euros, it has covered 50% of the total value performed in stores in 2017."
Thanks to Endeavor, Andrea will have privileged access to global markets, talent development programs, and capital in order to accelerate the company’s growth.
