Aumento di capitale da 13,5 milioni per Complaion

Complaion, a company specializing in supporting businesses with ISO certification management and compliance, has raised €13.5 million in new capital. This brings the company to the top of the list of European sector enterprises with the largest funding. Eurazeo and Italian Founders Fund are among the lead investors, along with several international top-tier funds, including Shapers, 2100 Ventures, K-Fund, Sella Direct Ventures, Enzo Ventures, and funds connected to European entrepreneurial families, such as Vento, Ithaca, Eden Ventures, and Vesper.

With over 40 professionals on the team and a track record of more than a thousand audits, Complaion now has more than 900 clients and a model that combines proprietary technology and a dedicated team of certified Lead Auditors. The platform simplifies and automates up to 80% of the most manual tasks, thanks to the technology, it has been able to reduce certification times by up to five times.

The new funds will allow Complaion to expand the team with new specialized professionals, strengthen customer support, enhance the proprietary platform, and accelerate international growth. Italy, the second largest market in the world for the number of ISO certifications, is the main market for the company, and the new resources will allow Complaion to consolidate its leadership.

Founded in 2024 by Edoardo Tarricone, CEO, Marco Cortinovis, COO, and Alessandro Vaccarino, CTO, Complaion recently expanded its network to Spain, the first overseas market, and plans to continue growing throughout Europe. Complaion's services target a million SMEs that need ISO certifications to participate in public tenders - a potential market of €2 trillion in commercial opportunities - or to qualify as approved suppliers for large companies.

"Compliance should not be an obstacle to growth, but a lever to unlock new opportunities," says Edoardo Tarricone, co-founder and CEO of Complaion. "In an increasingly digital world, the human experience must remain central, especially in a complex market like compliance." "We chose to invest in Complaion because it operates in a large and structural market destined for growth, supported by increasing regulatory obligations and the need for small and medium-sized enterprises to demonstrate their level of compliance," adds Nicolas Debock, General Partner of Eurazeo.

"The founding team has gained significant experience in the Italian B2B ecosystem and possesses a deep understanding of the structural challenges of the market and the main critical points for businesses, which is a fundamental differentiation element, combined with the comprehensive offering for Italian and European SMEs." "Complaion represents the perfect choice for Italian Founders Fund, as it operates in a large and rapidly growing market like the ISO certifications market, where Italy is the leading market in Europe and the second largest globally," says Lorenzo Franzi, Founding Partner of Italian Founders Fund (IFF).

"The company is transforming a traditionally opaque and complex sector by combining innovative technology and essential expertise, allowing thousands of SMEs to access public tenders."
