Funambol's vision was to make it easy to automatically sync billions of mobile phones, tablets, computers and connected devices with the systems and online services people use everyday via the cloud.

With headquarter in Silicon Valley, but R&D in Pavia (Italy), Funambol has raised over $30 million in Venture Capital funding in multiple rounds and established partnership with Télefonica,[6] Movistar Spain[6] and many other leading mobile operators worldwide.

As the social network of the official apps of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Juventus and many other sports teams and leagues, TOK.tv allowed fans to talk and cheer even when they were apart.

After 23 years in Silicon Valley, Capobianco moved back to Valtellina in 2022 with the ambition of transforming it into the European innovation capital for mountain lovers.

In 2016, he was invited to speak on the topic of the "Liquid Enterprise" at the Ambrosetti Forum, an annual international economic conference held at Villa d'Este, in the Italian town of Cernobbio.

In October 2016 Capobianco was knighted, receiving the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic medal awarded by President Sergio Mattarella on a proposal by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
