AI Venture Builder Closes Major £2.5M Round, Strengthening Its Role in Europe’s AI Ecosystem

AI Venture Builder, an Italian-English company active in the development of applications and startups based on artificial intelligence, has successfully concluded a community capital campaign on Republic Europe, one of the leading European equity crowdfunding platforms.

The operation raised £2.5 million thanks to the contributions of over 476 investors , including institutional investors from Switzerland and Singapore, thus positioning itself among the most significant initiatives in the AI ​​sector at European level.

A growth that brings the total raised to over £4 million

With this round, the total amount raised by AI Venture Builder exceeds £4 million .

The result includes previous fundraising initiatives of £1.5 million, completed in 2024 and 2025 through CrowdFundMe, Crowdcube and other alternative finance tools, as well as support from institutional investors.

A venture building model oriented towards strategic sectors

Founded between London and Milan by Matteo Testi and Marco Tognoni, AI Venture Builder develops artificial intelligence solutions for highly complex sectors such as defense, cybersecurity, fashion, fintech, and healthcare.

In less than two years, the company has already developed six proprietary software programs, filed two patents, and started developing three other solutions scheduled for launch in 2026, confirming a particularly rapid pace of innovation.

Ai Venture Builder’s metrics in strong acceleration

The company’s growth trajectory is also evident in its financial results. After recording revenues of nearly £500,000 in 2024, AI Venture Builder expects to close 2025 with approximately £1.5 million, representing an increase of over 300% year-over-year.

Supporting this development is an expanding client portfolio, which includes more than twenty B2B partners and collaborations with leading companies such as Cy4Gate, Elettronica, and Almaviva.

A mission geared towards the new generation of AI companies

The closing of the round represents a decisive step towards the company’s mission: to contribute to the creation of the next generation of European AI-based companies through a model that integrates venture building, intellectual property development, and industrial partnerships.

“ This round represents a turning point for AI Venture Builder. Investor confidence and international interest confirm the solidity of our model and the need for truly industrial and scalable AI solutions in key sectors of the economy,” said Matteo Testi , CEO and founder of the company.

The operation

The AI Venture Builder round was originated and managed by Over Ventures, an Italian boutique specializing in equity crowdfunding that collaborates regularly with Republic Europe and the main continental platforms. The operation is currently among the most significant in the European AI landscape.
