Ploonge operates a social dining marketplace that lets users meet new people while enjoying dinner, brunch or lunch in restaurants or private homes. The service handles money transaction fees, customer support, refunds and marketing, and charges a 20% service fee for private locations. The company is available in multiple Italian cities — Milano, Roma, Ferrara, Bologna, Napoli, Torino, Palermo, Genova, Firenze, Bari, Venezia, Catania, Varese, Como — and in Berlin, Germany. Founded by Alessandro Coscia and Giorgio Bertolini, Ploonge previously raised €30K from a business angel. The company has secured an additional €300K in venture capital funding and plans to use it to rework the product, improve design and user experience, and then begin promotional activities.
