For artisanal producers
Your product is extraordinary. The world should know.
You chose quality over profit. Traditional methods over industrial shortcuts. You age on wooden shelves because stainless steel changes the flavor. You harvest by hand because the machine bruises the fruit. Your product is extraordinary — what you lack is the infrastructure to valorize it.
AI is that infrastructure.
Who we are
Food Tech Bootcamp is a lab born from gastronomic science. Founded by a graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo — Slow Food's university — who then spent more than ten years building software. We exist at the intersection of deep food knowledge and artificial intelligence.
We identify the rarest artisanal producers in Italy — across every sector, as many as deserve the name. The ones whose knowledge, methods, and standards are irreplaceable. Finding them requires knowing what to look for.
How we work
We search for extraordinary producers across every sector — as many as deserve the name.
01
We find you
We research every sector — caseifici, panifici, frantoi, cantine, and beyond. We look for the producers whose knowledge, quality, and integrity are extraordinary.
02
We understand your craft
We visit your production facility. We watch you work. We learn the knowledge embedded in your hands, your senses, your decisions. We start from the craft — never from the technology.
03
We build with you
AI that speaks the language of your craft — not generic software adapted from another industry. Every tool is designed around your specific knowledge, your specific challenges.
04
Your system grows stronger
AI becomes infrastructure for your entire operation — insight into what makes your product unique, tools to strengthen what surrounds it, intelligence that valorizes your craft. Not marketing. The foundation your food system deserves.
What we're building
Active experiment
AI Sales Coordinator
An artisanal DOP cheese dairy. 47 commercial targets in Milan. An AI system that coordinates prospect research, prepares briefing cards for each target, and manages follow-up. The sales team does what AI cannot: walk in the door, let the buyer taste the product, build a relationship.

Food Safety Automation
Temperature logs, cleaning schedules, supplier records, corrective actions. For a small caseificio or panificio, that's hours of paperwork every week — hours taken from production. We're building a system that makes the bureaucracy invisible.

Research
Culinary Intelligence
An AI system that reasons about food the way a gastronome does — not recipes, but deep knowledge: why dough behaves differently in January, why olives from one hillside taste different from the next. Knowledge that disappears when an artisan retires.
Who this is for
We look for artisanal producers who recognize their own story in these words:
- Your knowledge is deep — you understand your raw material, your territory, your tradition at a level that industrial producers cannot reach
- You use traditional methods — not for marketing, because it is the only way to make the product right
- You chose quality over volume, authenticity over optimization, craft over convenience — and you pay for it every day
- You know the value of what you make — and you need infrastructure that finally valorizes it, not just sells it
If this is you, we would love to hear from you.
