Perpethua is a fintech startup that operates a digital platform connecting small and medium enterprises with investors for M&A transactions and business continuity. The company focuses specifically on the critical phase of generational transition in SMEs, especially when there's no clear successor. Founded in 2024 by Pavlo Gjonikaj and Tobia Piovesan, the startup recently raised €500K in a SAFE round led by Vento Ventures and Banca Patrimoni Sella, with high-profile investors including Giuseppe Recchi (former CEO of GE Southern Europe). The platform targets companies with €2-25 million turnover and has registered over 200 investors, positioning itself as a solution to one of Italy's most undervalued SME challenges.
