Velasca, the e-commerce start-up of high quality Made in Italy footwear at an accessible price, first created in 2013 by two thirty-year olds, Enrico Casati and Jacopo Sebastio, gets ready to fly high.

In fact, this past November, the company was reinforced by a new round of investments equal to more than 700 thousand euros, arriving from the P101 venture capital fund and by the co-founding partners who were also backed by a private investor. The aim is to develop the company’s operations, digital marketing, and human resources, while also opening new “physical” points of sale in the most important cities in Italy and abroad, thus joining the ranks of the boutique in Milan that is located in front of the Arco della Pace.

Since it was first founded, Velasca has registered a constant three-figure growth rate, with a total revenue of one million euros generated as of 31 March. Half of this revenue was generated by foreign sales, arriving mainly from the markets of Europe and North America.
