Specifically, the sector that has run the fastest is, without a doubt, <strong>biotech<\/strong>, which<strong> has attracted more than 127million euro of investment, spread over 12 different deals<\/strong>. This is a particularly positive result, especially when compared to previous years: in 2024, there were 15 deals for a total of $221 million raised, and in 2023, the total raised was instead $164 million, thanks to 12 deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the market as a whole, according to BeBeez data, <strong>Italian start-ups and scale-ups have raised more than 353.4 million euros. This figure rises to 1.43 billion euros if we also consider start-ups founded by Italians abroad.<\/strong> Again, this is an excellent result when compared to the 1.7 billion euro raised in the whole of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all positive signs that testify to a renewed interest in the Italian innovation ecosystem. However, the <strong>comparison with other European countries still highlights how there is a long way to go<\/strong>. Even looking at its closest neighbours, such as Spain, this has already surpassed the billion euro mark in startup investments in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let&#8217;s look specifically at some of the most interesting rounds in June, looking for champions beyond the biotech sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jet HR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>tech company focused on simplifying work-related bureaucracy and employee management has closed a 25million euro round<\/strong>, led by BASE10. The startup&#8217;s goal is not only to automate payroll processing but also to quickly manage administrative tasks, shedding light on personnel costs and eliminating paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nova<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> professional network that connects the world&#8217;s best talent has just raised 3.2million euro in a funding round led by CDP Venture Capital, through its ServiceTech division<\/strong>. The new funds will enable the Milan-based company to expand its professional network internationally, while also promoting the development of a new proprietary technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lionhealth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian start-up, which <strong>develops innovative foods for patients with malnutrition linked to severe diseases such as Alzheimer&#8217;s, has received 3million euro in funding thanks to the support of fifty investors<\/strong>, including Doorway and Vikivi. The company&#8217;s goal is to build a market-leading European start-up in the field of medical nutrition, with a focus on food for special medical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI4IV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>young Italian deep tech company, active in the development of sensors and modules for potential on-edge vision from AI, has cashed in more than 1.7million euro<\/strong> in a recent investment round. The technological heart of the start-up is FlyEye, a newly developed neuromorphic sensor that emulates the functioning of human neurons, guaranteeing the recognition of objects in the environment in real-time, even in extremely bright conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Assist Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company, which <strong>specialises in customer experience, data and digital transformation, has acquired a majority stake in Hyntelo, a leading data science technology company<\/strong>. This transaction opens international doors for Hyntelo, consolidating its position but also opening up to new sectors, such as pharma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Wealth has selected 5 start-ups that have made their mark in the Italian venture capital market, from food to deep tech, via customer service, corporate bureaucracy and more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":252,"featured_media":125858,"template":"","categories":[2253,2268],"tags":[3661],"collana-video":[],"class_list":["post-125856","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investimenti","category-venture-private-equity","tag-startup-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A semester of success for venture capital: the Italian story | WeWealth<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We Wealth has selected 5 start-ups that have made their mark in the Italian venture capital market, from food to deep tech\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/en\/news\/semester-success-venture-capital-italian-story\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A semester of success for venture capital: the Italian story | WeWealth\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We Wealth has selected 5 start-ups that have made their mark in the Italian venture capital market, from food to deep tech\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/en\/news\/semester-success-venture-capital-italian-story\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"WeWealth\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wewealthsocial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-07-14T09:45:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wewealth.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2025\/07\/venture-capital.png?_t=1752486347\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1240\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"722\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@we__wealth\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/en\/news\/semester-success-venture-capital-italian-story#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/en\/news\/semester-success-venture-capital-italian-story\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"matilde sperlinga\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/#\/schema\/person\/4fb3c2b4f61e89e360ef88ba331dd70b\"},\"headline\":\"A semester of success for venture capital: the Italian story\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-07-14T09:45:40+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-07-14T09:45:44+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/en\/news\/semester-success-venture-capital-italian-story\"},\"wordCount\":505,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/venture-capital.png\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":675},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.we-wealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/venture-capital.png\",\"keywords\":[\"startup\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Finance\",\"Private equity, Venture capital &amp;
