Webidoo announced the closing of a $25 million funding round led by IXC3, a fund within Azimut Group, as the company expands its AI-driven technology platform for small and medium-sized businesses.
The funding will support Webidoo’s U.S. expansion strategy, accelerate the adoption of its AI platforms among SMBs, and fund acquisitions of SaaS companies and marketing agencies across the United States.
Webidoo said the new capital will help advance its broader vision of creating an “AI Operating Layer” designed to simplify and automate core business processes for SMBs through AI-powered execution tools.
The company plans to use a significant portion of the funding to pursue a targeted M&A strategy focused on acquiring customer-facing SaaS businesses and marketing firms whose operations and client engagement capabilities can be enhanced through integration with Webidoo’s proprietary platforms, including Jooice, Groow, and Welpy.
According to the company, the strategy is intended to combine technology infrastructure with existing customer relationships and service networks, enabling broader deployment of AI-powered automation and performance optimization tools across SMB environments.
Webidoo currently operates globally with offices across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, with Chicago serving as the center of its North American operations, including business development, research, and account management functions.
The company reported more than $18 million in revenue and over $3 million in EBITDA during 2025 while continuing to invest heavily in research, development, and platform expansion.
Webidoo’s investor base now includes Azimut Group alongside existing investors 8a+, part of Banca Generali, and TIM Ventures.
The company said its AI infrastructure is designed to reduce operational complexity for SMBs by connecting fragmented software tools and automating workflows across marketing, sales, and business operations.
Webidoo’s leadership stated that the company’s focus is on helping SMBs adopt AI technologies without requiring them to build internal AI systems or manage complex software stacks independently.
KEY QUOTES:
“The average small business runs 20 tools that don’t talk to each other. We’re not building tool number 21. We’re building the layer that finally makes them all work together. For too long, small and medium-sized businesses have had to compete without access to the kind of technology that could truly change the game for them. With this funding round, we are accelerating a much bigger vision: we want to give SMBs superpowers.”
Giovanni Farese, CEO, Webidoo
“Most SMBs do not need more complexity. They need technology that helps them act. That is the role Jooice, Welpy, and Groow are designed to play. Our goal is to make AI easier to adopt, easier to use, and much more connected to real business outcomes.”
Ricky Gordon, Chief Product Officer, Webidoo
“Our investment in Webidoo confirms the strategy of our IXC3 fund to support Italian SMEs with solid fundamentals in strategic sectors. In a context where digital infrastructure requires technological solutions that simplify and maximize access to AI’s full potential, Webidoo stands out as an ecosystem focused on measurable results and international scalability. This is the second investment made by the IXC3 fund and reflects its mission to support the growth and consolidation of high-potential companies that are able to position themselves distinctively in complex and fast-evolving markets.”
Andrea Cornetti, Chief Executive Officer, Real Estate And Infrastructure, Azimut Group
