AdaPia d'Errico is an accomplished entrepreneur, investor, and advisor with over 20 years of experience in the financial industry.
This is my story.
Devoted to living her ethos.
AdaPia’s 20-year career has spanned banking, insurance, hedge funds, private equity, real estate, venture capital, and digital assets. As a founder, angel investor, lifelong entrepreneur, and advisor, AdaPia brings a wealth of acumen and experience to the table.
But it was her early venture into the startup world in support of creators that gave her a taste of how technology would ultimately revolutionize how generational wealth was created and distributed.
AdaPia’s visionary understanding of how to utilize innovative platform technologies laid the groundwork for her later path into venture capital and investing in founders who were reshaping entire industries.
She was just getting started.
My Story.
I jumped out of a hedge fund and dove headfirst into business with my sister. What started as a humble MySpace page for her business pioneered a whole new way for pop culture artists to make a living.
In other words, I saw an opportunity. Through the economic model of licensing and merchandise, artists and creatives could build a viable business where they are compensated for their IP via distributed networks.
This experience changed everything. Not only did it catalyze my journey as an entrepreneur, it proved out my instinct for the branding and positioning of radically innovative creators, founders, and brands. I learned how to experiment with economic models and leverage powerful new technologies and digital platforms.
What used to be business heresy would soon become the vanguard of economic innovation.
What emerged in these years was the realization that while there were still stalwart hierarchical models of concentrated wealth and power, there was a new form of economic success available to artists, innovators, and creators that had never been widely available before.
I could see a path forward for more people to access and achieve financial success on their own terms by embracing the technological shifts brought about by generational changes in preferences, behaviors, and expectations.
That path eventually led me into the fintech space, specifically real estate crowdfunding, where I was one of three women in that space in executive or founder roles – a trailblazing moment for that particular industry.
I led the first-ever crowdfunded series A raise by a crowdfunding company and became known for the way I was able to create demand and generate interest using digital tools to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from accredited investors (and help them gain access to some of the best-known, and previously unavailable, investment opportunities).
I care about inclusivity in the markets where wealth is built. I am passionate about using money to create powerful change.
Thus my interests inevitably led to blockchain technologies, angel investing, and becoming an LP in venture funds that backed female and minority entrepreneurs and social/impact businesses making a difference.
My passion for continuous change, empowerment, and equality has led me to jump into life-changing opportunities and meet people who inspire me every day to continue on this journey, whether I show up as a leader, non-profit founder, trusted advisor, board member, or fund manager.
Money has always driven the future.
And I believe we can do it better.

AdaPia d'Errico knew from a young age that financial independence was the means to control her own destiny. Despite believing she wasn't good at math, she started working in a bank at the age of 18 and completed business and economics degrees with a specialization in personal finance.
Throughout her 20-year career spanning banking, finance, real estate, and fintech, AdaPia battled inner demons and outer narratives like “Only men can be wealthy” and “Don’t be greedy, be good”.
Did these narratives serve the future of our economy? Not in the least.
When AdaPia broke through these personal barriers and blocks around money, it led to a radical shift in her philosophy and practice. Throughout her personal journey to claiming her wealth, success, and abundance, she observed many other women who were in the same boat.
These smart, successful, powerful women were still operating in the paradigm of trading time for money, or without the means to access strategies and investments that build sustainable, generational and joyful wealth.
As a connected investor with visionary insights and access to exclusive operators and opportunities, AdaPia has made it her life’s work to facilitate the transformation that women go through when they step into the power of wealth.
My Mission?
To shift the balance of wealth, power, and influence.
I do this by empowering people with access to knowledge, insights, tools, strategies, and networks.
Hierarchies are inherently fragile, and we’ve reached the inflection point as a society – there’s no reversing the massive changes that tech has enabled. By democratizing access to financial models and digital platforms, we’ve shifted the balance of power to consumers, customers, and creators.
I see this shift as the recentralization of power. My work is in helping people understand that power structures and systems can be redesigned – and to take responsibility for that initiative.
It’s up to all of us to be accountable to a better model and to make this our new baseline.
