Quido SRL targets the pain points of private market investors, where fragmented data sources and manual workflows slow deal sourcing and due-diligence. Its cloud-based platform acts as an AI layer that aggregates disparate information, structures it and delivers automated insights, effectively removing the “monkey work” from investment analysis. The company intends to use artificial intelligence to streamline everything from data ingestion to opportunity scoring, allowing funds and corporate investors to make faster, more informed decisions. Fresh capital will be directed toward accelerating product development, expanding the technical and commercial teams, and supporting geographic expansion beyond its initial Italian customer base. Quido has not yet disclosed revenue or user figures, but the founders emphasize product scaling as the immediate priority. The recent financing provides the first institutional backing and positions the company to move from an early prototype to a fully commercial solution. Management also plans to deepen partnerships within the Italian private-capital ecosystem through its new strategic investors.

Hotiday is a Milan-based traveltech startup founded in 2022 that selects rooms within partner properties and adapts them to travellers’ needs while preserving each location’s character. The company combines services, technology, design and comfort with a proprietary revenue management system and advanced data analytics to help hotels optimize pricing and increase revenues. Hotiday monetizes natural unsold inventory to raise occupancy rates and generate passive income for properties. In the last year it hosted more than 33,000 people across more than 90 tourist destinations in Europe. The startup intends to use new funding to open locations in major European resorts and cities, broaden services offered to partner hoteliers and expand its team. Hotiday purchases unsold hotel rooms from partner facilities and resells them online under a proprietary “Hotiday Hotels” brand, operating as a decentralized, data-driven hotel chain. It uses a proprietary algorithm and an instant-buying logic to acquire rooms at the right price, offers cashback to travellers, and provides digital services such as online check-in and a digital concierge via an app. Since its founding in March 2022 the startup has grown rapidly and achieved a turnover of over €1 million by 2023 while serving multiple facilities across Italy. The company plans to invest new funds in technology to further enhance its algorithm and online platform, pursue new acquisitions, and expand its presence throughout Italy. Hotiday also intends to expand the team with hires including a product manager and a sales account to support growth. Founders include Vittorio Gargiulo (CEO), Federico Di Carlo (Chairman & CCO), and Federico Brunelli (CFO), all with hospitality experience.
