Italy, 9th Oct 2026 – The Makeover Group steps out as an operator-led holding company helping founders in Italy build businesses that run without them. Headquartered in Florence, the group builds, operates, and grows businesses across finance, property, blue collar trades, and business transformation in Italy.

Founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, the group addresses a core issue for entrepreneurs. Most businesses face founder dependency. The Makeover Group replaces this dependency with systems and shared infrastructure. Establishing the financial control, operations, and growth systems for founders allows a business to scale or be sold without relying on one person.

The group runs three operating companies across four verticals. TMG Books serves as an English-speaking accountant in Italy and an English-speaking commercialista. It provides expat accounting in Italy and Partita IVA setup for founders. BM Real Estate handles property management in Tuscany. Casa Bada Tuscany manages villa rentals, events, and destination weddings. The group also provides consulting to help owners build a business that runs without them.

The firm operates real businesses with real clients and payroll. It is not an advisory firm that consults from the sidelines. Everything it recommends it has run itself first. The group has helped a Tuscan food producer structure their business with clear financials and branding. It also hired more than 100 electricians in under eight weeks for a large data centre contractor.

“Most founders think they have a growth problem. What they actually have is a founder dependency problem. When you put in the systems and the financial clarity that let a business run without you, everything changes. That is the work we do,” said Alessandro Badalamenti.

About The Makeover Group: 

The Makeover Group is an operator-led holding company based in Florence, Italy. The group replaces founder dependency with systems so businesses can run independently. It was founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, an operator who has built and run businesses across Florence, Sydney, and Seattle.

Makeover Group Launches to Help Founders in Italy Build Businesses That Run Without Them

United States, 9th Oct 2026  — OpenClaw LA will host a free meetup on Wednesday, October 14, as part of LA Tech Week. Six speakers will share what they’re building with AI agents, where the tools are proving useful, and what remains difficult to get right.

The event comes as more companies introduce agents designed to do work on a person’s behalf, including OpenAI’s newly announced Dots, Facebook Muse, Grok Bot, and Microsoft’s Autopilot. 

OpenClaw LA will bring that conversation down to earth with talks on practical uses, from finding government funding for small businesses to handling legal documents responsibly.

The speakers are:

– Jimi Smoot on Jev and routing work between subagents.

– Andrew Peltekci on his agent setup and a new marketplace for developers.

– Joseph Chicas on GovClaw, an agentic funding engine that helps non profits, startups and SMB’s secure government contracts and grants 

– Trillium Smith on voice accessibility and AI tools.

– Basil “Bobby” Latif on building an AI workflow for legal documents and the harder problem of making it trustworthy.

– Milind Potdar on Microsoft’s agent tools, how its systems work together, use cases in healthcare and other industries, and Autopilot.

OpenClaw LA is a gathering for people in Los Angeles who use or build with OpenClaw and personal AI agents. The October meetup begins at 6:30 p.m. at Groundfloor, 160 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026. Attendance is free, and guests can RSVP at https://openclawla.com/.
