The equity crowdfunding campaign for a Cyber Security PMI
The equity crowdfunding campaign has been underway on Mamacrowd by Kopjra, an innovative SME based in Bologna cyber security specializing in online investigations, which aims to reach €1 million by the end of 2022.
The campaign reached the minimum target of €400,000 in just a few days, also thanks to the participation of Azimut as lead investor, which has already invested €250,000, but has a commitment of up to €500,000, and to that of Club Digitale, which had already a stake in the company.

The process is based on an online investigation carried out with proprietary technologies of which Kopjra currently holds 2 patents in Italy and in the United States, while a third is in concession. The company has consolidated over time also thanks to collaborations with companies such as Sky, SIAE, Il Sole 24 Ore, Leonardo, the Arma dei Carabinieri.

The founders are Tommaso Grotto, Matteo Scapin, and Emanuele Casadio, who have gained experience in large ICT groups (Engineering) and in the police forces (Carabinieri). The founding members are professors at the University of Milan and at the Telecommunications School of the Armed Forces, as well as authors of numerous articles and volumes on the issues addressed by the company. The skills also extend to artificial intelligence, thanks to a Ph.D. at the University of Pisa.
