Lodo Minelli Sarteri
Founder and scout for frontier innovation and culture, making life more humane.
I work on complex problems where technology, human behavior, and experience must function as a coherent system.
My focus is on building infrastructure and innovation-led projects that translate deep human signals into scalable products, platforms, and real-world impact.
Current Focus: EMOTITECH, the biotech and data company developing real-time hormone sensing from sweat and proprietary correlation software to establish a new layer of continuous human biodata.
ALPITRON, the special projects and innovation studio operating at the intersection of design, culture, and applied technology.
My background spans finance, technology, design, art, and international ecosystems across Europe, GCC, the United States, and Asia. This cross-domain experience informs how I approach innovation: with precision, restraint, and an emphasis on clarity over noise.
Based in the Alps. Operating internationally.

Shadows of Ginger Stripes, My Encounter with the Feathered Dinosaur of China
