Webidoo raises $25m for SMB AI

Webidoo has raised $25 million in a funding round led by IXC3, part of Azimut Group, as it looks to expand its AI infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses and step up acquisitions in SaaS and marketing services. The round adds Azimut to an investor base that already includes 8a+, part of Banca Generali, and TIM Ventures.

The company said the new capital will be used to scale adoption of agentic AI, expand its proprietary platforms, and support the automated execution of core business processes. A significant portion of the funding will also go towards a targeted M&A strategy focused on acquiring client-facing SaaS companies and marketing agencies whose customer relationships and delivery capabilities can be strengthened through Webidoo’s technology stack.

At the centre of that strategy are Webidoo’s platforms Jooice, Groow, and Welpy, which the company says are designed to reduce the gap between insight and action for smaller businesses. Rather than adding another disconnected tool, Webidoo is pitching what it calls an AI operating layer that allows businesses to automate more of their operations without building internal systems from scratch.

Over the past 12 months, the company said it has continued to invest in research, development, and infrastructure. In 2025, it reported more than $18 million in revenue and more than $3 million in EBITDA, while continuing to build out the product ecosystem behind its execution model.

Giovanni Farese, CEO of Webidoo, said: “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.”

Ricky Gordon, CPO of Webidoo, added: “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.”
