The Milan- and Chicago-based startup, backed by Azimut Libera Impresa’s IXC3 fund, plans to scale agentic AI for SMBs and pursue acquisitions in the US.
Webidoo, an Italian-American AI company building software for small and medium-sized businesses, has closed a $25m funding round led by the IXC3 fund managed by Azimut Libera Impresa SGR.
The investment, equivalent to roughly €21m at current rates, is among the larger AI raises for an SMB-focused European outfit so far this year.
The company, headquartered in Milan with a second office in Chicago, said it would use the capital to scale what it calls its AI operating layer for small businesses, fold in agentic AI for the automated execution of core business processes, and back acquisitions of SaaS and marketing companies in the United States.
Andrea Cornetti, Azimut Group’s chief executive for real estate and infrastructure, said in a statement that the deal reflected the IXC3 fund’s strategy of supporting Italian small and medium-sized enterprises with international ambition. Webidoo, he added, stood out as an ecosystem focused on measurable results and international scalability.
The numbers behind the raise are unusually concrete for an AI startup at this stage. Webidoo reported more than $18m in revenue in 2025 and over $3m in EBITDA, according to figures the company disclosed alongside the funding announcement.
The combination of paid revenue, positive EBITDA, and growth-stage backing places Webidoo closer to a profitable scale-up than to most loss-leading AI peers.
Webidoo’s pitch is that small businesses sit on a stack of disconnected SaaS tools, and that the lack of glue between them costs them more in lost productivity than any individual tool delivers.
The company’s platform is positioned as that glue. The agentic-AI layer, in Webidoo’s framing, takes routine workflows that would otherwise require human handoffs and runs them automatically.
The company has previously argued, citing internal customer data, that SMEs integrating AI through its platform see productivity gains north of 40%.
The US push is the more interesting strategic move. Italian and broader European tech has spent the past three years debating how to scale beyond its home markets without losing local ground.
Webidoo is taking the unusually direct route of buying its way in: acquiring SaaS and marketing companies in the US that already have customer relationships, then layering its own platform on top. Whether that strategy holds up depends on the price discipline of those acquisitions and the integration costs Webidoo absorbs.
Azimut Libera Impresa’s IXC3 fund, formally Imprese per la Crescita 3, is part of the listed Azimut Group’s private-markets unit. The fund’s mandate is to back Italian SMEs with international growth plans.
Webidoo joins a small but growing set of European AI companies whose investors are also their distribution partners.
