A driving license today represents independence, employment, and freedom. Our ambition is to transform this journey into a simple, transparent, and accessible experience, aligned with the expectations of a generation that no longer tolerates bureaucracy and opacity. It’s this mix of experience, capital, and shared vision that will allow us to accelerate toward our goal of bringing Guidoio across Italy and building a new standard for digital mobility more accessible, smarter, and closer to people, explains Lorenzo Mannari, Co-founder and CEO of Guidoio.

The new funding will support Guidoio’s growth across three key areas: commercial expansion, product development and team scaling. The company plans to bring its digital driving school model to more than 30 Italian cities by 2026, accompanied by strategic hires to sustain this expansion.

On the product front, Guidoio will invest in enhancing its e-learning platform to better prepare learners for theory and practical exams, develop new digital tools for instructors, and further advance the AI-driven features already integrated into the system.
