We are Startup Bakery. Nice to meet you!

We are an Italian startup studio and we specialize in creating SaaS startups with a B2B focus. Every project we undertake combines a simple user experience, advanced data gathering and processing as well as AI elements.

Our team is made up of founders, investors and serial entrepreneurs, open innovation enthusiasts, lean startup fanatics and experts in cloud technologies, user experience and digital marketing.

Our values

Success for a startup is not reached by chance or luck, but it’s the result of expertise, methodology and resources. These are the essential ingredients of our startup studio:

• Sustainability: Each new startup we create must be useful to society and have a positive impact on people and on our planet by pursuing at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals;
• Holacracy: ‘Old school’ hierarchies generate bottlenecks and hinder agility and innovation. On the contrary, through a hierarchy of roles and not of people, clear responsibilities are shared and we proceed quickly and compactly towards our goals;
• Lean approach: Nothing must be produced if its usefulness to the end customer is not demonstrated first.

The way we work

We strive to create the best working environment for individuals to succeed by following these principles:

• Trust and initiative: Trust is essential to an effective team. We appreciate people who take decisions without fear of making mistakes, who are independent and proactive. No one is left alone but it’s important to leave the right space for initiative.
• Work-life balance: What matters is the result, not the working hours.
• Flexible remote work: Some people need an office environment while others perform better at home, or need to combine a career with personal circumstances. By reducing travel, you save money, are more productive (less stressed ;)) and pollute less. Human contact is also important and we have an office in Milan where we can meet whenever we need to work together (and have fun too!).

We are looking for motivated CTOs for our new startups to be responsible for the technical development of our solutions. You will be building and maintaining scalable and reliable architecture and backlog, leading the technical direction of new startups.
