In 2007 Matteo Rizzi branched out and became the founder of swiftcommunity.net. This business was built based on the experience he had gathered while designing italiansonline.net. The latter was the world’s largest Italian ex-pat portal and came to life in 2003. This predates Facebook.

From there, he went on to launch the Innotribe Startup Challenge, the world’s first global challenge for FinTech entrepreneurs. He also started the Enablers group. This features a cross-industry group of people who mentor Innotribe and SWIFT with regard to strategy and financial trends.
