Matteo Turi FCCA

Matteo has spent nearly three decades in corporate finance and M&A, working inside startups, scale-ups and board-level leadership teams across Europe — involved in $480 million of live transactions across multiple banking systems, regulators and credit cultures.

The turning point came the day three banks — in France, Spain and Italy — all said yes to the same business. Not because revenue grew faster, but because the company had adopted a valuation-grade operating structure. The business became predictable under pressure. And predictability is what unlocks capital.

That insight became the High Valuation Triangle™ — intellectual property monetisation, succession depth and leadership architecture, and global optionality — the framework at the heart of his book Fail. Pivot. Scale., co-authored with strategic advisor Simon Bedros.

Today Matteo writes The Exponential Blueprint, read by more than 22,000 founders, lectures and mentors startup accelerator programmes, and works with a small number of businesses as fractional CFO and valuation architect.
