Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Founded in 2024 and based in Syracuse, Archimede has developed ArchMesh, a modular kit that integrates predictive energy management, multi-constellation satellite connectivity and a low-code software platform for bidirectional control of distributed facilities in off-grid environments. The solution targets industries including agriculture, oil and gas, logistics, public infrastructure and defence, aiming to enable operational continuity where power and terrestrial connectivity are unreliable. Archimede plans to release an open-source version of its stack to lower adoption barriers and enable third-party vertical applications. The company has initiated projects with major enterprise operators, including a proof-of-concept with Eni Joule to test ArchMesh for industrial asset monitoring in limited-connectivity areas. Its product roadmap focuses on product industrialisation, enterprise pilots and international expansion to scale ArchMesh into a platform for remote infrastructure management.
- Quindi
Led · Seed · Dec 2024
Quindi offers a Production copilot, an AI solution that integrates data from machinery, orders, and people to optimise production flows. It enables factory staff to detect critical events in real time—such as machine anomalies or unexpected employee absences—and receive operational guidance to act proactively. Production managers can re-schedule production in real time, choosing from different scenarios proposed by Quindi. The company was founded in 2022 and is built by manufacturing and IT specialists, including Fabio Oscari (CEO), Simone Minto (CTO), Luca Barbazza (COO), and Alberto Frison (Head of Growth). Quindi raised €525,000 in initial Seed funding from Open Venture and ELIS Group to support product development and marketing. The funds will also be used to internationalise the solution, consolidating its position in Italy and initiating expansion into European and U.S. markets.
