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.

To date, Kopjra has received funding from venture capital funds (around €500,000 from Club Italia Investimenti 2, Club Digitale, and Metide), the Emilia-Romagna Region (around €50,000), and the Ministry of Economic Development (around €100,000), as part of the Brevetti+ tender.
