Four questions about your startup
See how your round matches what it backs, point by point.
Or find every investor that fitsPLAI lists 16 checked portfolio companies on its own site. Its largest themes are AI & Machine Learning (23%), Education (18%) and Fintech (14%). 89% of its companies are based in Italy. It invests most often alongside DFF Ventures, Information Venture Partners and Italian Founders Fund.
No funding round on record names PLAI yet, so the figures come from its portfolio page.
Round figures show recent activity, not PLAI's whole history. Rounds on record name 0 companies; its own site lists 16. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
