As members of the same company, there's three things we share: we love good design, we are addicted to innovation and we do our best to have fun at work.

Who's in it

Shicon was born in 2009 from H-Farm, a leading venture capital firm which focuses on Web 2.0 startups. Based in Italy, it has offices in India, Uk and the US. Seeing the potential in Shicon's creative community, in 2010 a new team of passionate investors joined the company. The management team comes from two italian firms: Taaac, founded by Michele Simonato and Matteo Lai and Employees Only, founded by Enrico Aprico. Taaac is about design innovation and new business models, while Employees Only focuses on new media consulting and digital content production. Enrico draws his expertise from a long career the field, having overseen the launch and development of MTV branches, both in Italy and several other European countries. We saw an opportunity to mix our respective expertise in setting up new models, and we brought out client Brands to experience Shicon's creative potential.

Shicon is now working on diversified projects in virtually every area of design, involving additional talented designers from leading universities, creative groups and agencies on top of the online community.
