Summary
Enry's Island SpA (WBAG:EIOS), which describes itself as the world's first publicly listed venture builder, issued a Business Wire press release announcing what it characterizes as record growth and a strategic push into gaming. The company reports revenues up 250% year-over-year, $3.6M in exits realized via IPO, and one portfolio company IPO completed in December 2024, with two more IPOs expected in 2026. The release also cites share price gains of 132% in the first half of 2025 and 116% year-to-date, peaks of +1000% in daily trading volume in H1 2025, and a 220% increase in market capitalization over 18 months. These figures are company-reported and have not been independently verified in the release.
The company frames its business through a three-layer model. The business layer, Enry's Island SpA, is a VC and venture builder that has secured a $20M equity round A with LDA Capital of Los Angeles. The software layer, HUI SpA, is a SaaS and super-app platform for VCs and startups that the company compares to BlackRock's Aladdin for institutional asset management; it reports revenues up 350%, a user base up 350%, and a $25M equity round A with Nimbus Capital of Miami, with a V3 release scheduled for Q1 2026. The space layer, R5 Holding, focuses on distributed coworking and luxury services for investors, and cites a $1B term sheet from a US fund with an IPO expected in H2 2026.
The company is positioning its "VC Revolution" around Enry's Island AdVentures, operated through EIA Holding LLC of New York, which it describes as the first video game designed to teach startup launch and scale. Chairman Luigi Valerio Rinaldi, citing Elon Musk, argued that games are an effective teaching tool. The company says the initiative targets so-called "long tail users" excluded for geographic, economic, or technical reasons. A US Kickstarter campaign for the game is planned for Q1 2026, with international scope and involvement of retro-gaming developers and influencers.
Strategically, Enry's Island says it is directing its deal flow toward the gaming sector, which it describes as a "Blue Ocean" with little structured VC competition. It plans to invest more than $5M in equity across 10 game studios in 2026. The board was expanded with Alessandro Pacciana, head of sales at international private banks, and Victor Pizzoni, a corporate finance and capital markets expert. The company cites partnerships with PwC, Accenture, EY and CMS Global. Independent confirmation of the performance metrics and deal terms was not provided in the source material.
