At Keen, we ❤️ SME tech and 🇮🇹. So we're thrilled to be partnering with Mattia Montepara, Dario Prencipe, Lorenzo Liguori and the Sibill team on their €6.2m raise. Italy has the largest concentration of SMEs in Europe but they lack critical tools like treasury and liquidity planning in their financial operations. Sibill's platform fixes this, providing valuable insights to thousands of business owners whilst helping them save time and money. CC: Exor Ventures @Founders, Plug and Play Tech Center
