Deep Learning Italia Launches €400K Crowdfunding to Bridge Italy’s Tech Skills Gap

There’s a problem that more and more Italian companies are facing: tech skills are evolving too quickly, while training programs are struggling to keep pace. The result? A growing gap between what’s needed and what the market offers, especially in hot topics like artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity. It’s precisely from this need that Deep Learning Italia was created.

A B2B edutech startup, Deep Learning has just launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Mamacrowd to raise €400,000. And the first few days show that the market has already responded: the minimum goal is practically within reach.

An AI-driven platform that cuts time and costs by 80%

Deep Learning Italia, born within AI Venture Builder, has built a platform that automates the production, updating, and customization of advanced training courses. The advantage? Time and cost reductions of up to 80% compared to traditional models, while maintaining high quality and customization.

It’s not just theory: the momentum is already there, and it shows. The platform has trained over 2,600 professionals, hosts more than 90 courses created with the contribution of over 100 instructors, and boasts a corporate retention rate of over 85%. Clients include major names such as Sielte, Almaviva, PCS Group, the Sicilian Region, professional associations such as CNF and Agenas, and universities such as LUMSA and Ca’ Foscari.

Growing numbers: from 500K to 1.2M in one year

Economically, Deep Learning Italia isn’t a gamble: it’s a growing business. Revenue has grown from €500,000 in 2024 to over €1.2 million in 2025, with nearly 150% year-over-year growth. The majority of revenue comes from recurring B2B contracts, confirming the robustness of the model.

And what about the outlook? Under the conservative scenario, the company expects to exceed €4 million in revenue by 2029. With an EBITDA margin of over 40%, the numbers are in order and the project’s sustainability is beyond question.

Why an equity crowdfunding campaign?

At a time when demand for advanced digital skills is expected to grow structurally, Deep Learning Italia is positioning itself in a growing market with a scalable, proven, and already profitable model.

“Digital transformation requires skills that evolve faster than traditional training models,” explains management. “Our platform was created to help companies and institutions bridge this gap in a measurable, scalable, and sustainable way, putting artificial intelligence at the service of professional education “

The operation is being managed by Over Ventures, an advisory boutique founded by Giancarlo Vergine, Alberto Vergine and Myryam Sollai, which manages the first European crowdfunding studio.
