Volcano Method is the name that groups the house's own systems, with its specific form in each case: the Volcano Method of risk reduction (the six levers, explorable in the interactive map of risk and reward) and the Volcano Method of technological Tax Lease (the proprietary engineering on the instrument). They were devised by Francesco Esposito, founder of Volcano.

Who we are

Volcano, in one line and in one paragraph.

In one line: Volcano is a Canary venture builder that builds startups in series, taking the risk first: it funds research with private tax capital and coordinates a network of independent companies, without taking controlling stakes.

In one paragraph: Volcano identifies real market problems, validates the solutions before building them and creates complete companies, from R&D to commercial DNA. The funding combines public funds for research with the Tax Lease, a scheme of funding between private parties tax-incentivised by the State. Each startup is born with its own capital, team and governance; the legal and operational coordination of the network is carried out by UPLUS22CF S.L., based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
