With the money they've raised, Futura intends to expand into new business sectors, hire more people around Europe, and make further investments in its AI and technology. The firm intends to quadruple its staff size within the year and is especially focused on hiring in Spain and Italy.

The organisation thinks that hiring people from other countries adds a variety of viewpoints and skill sets, and that people with international experience frequently have an entrepreneurial attitude, which is essential for success.

Andrea Chirolli, co-founder at Futura said, “We have a strong proven track-record on growth, but what really counts are our people. We set a different standard, and this is what drives our success. Why I love working at Futura: we have a very high bar, and we’re kind with each other. I strongly believe these two go hand in hand, and this is what makes us attract top talents,”

Alexandre Dewez, Vice-President at Eurazeo said, “We’re convinced that Futura provides a value-added solution for the entire education ecosystem in Italy. We’re thrilled to partner with Andrea, Lorenzo, Francesco and the rest of the Futura team, leveraging its unique AI capabilities to build the next education leader in Europe,”.
