Who is Complaion

With a team of over 40 professionals and a track record of more than a thousand audits, Complaion now has more than 900 clients, thanks to a model that combines proprietary technology with a dedicated team of certified Lead Auditors. Its platform simplifies and automates up to 80 per cent of the most labour-intensive tasks: thanks to this technology, it has helped to reduce certification times by up to five times.

The development plan

The new funding will enable Complaion to expand its team with new specialist professionals, strengthen client support, enhance its proprietary platform and accelerate its international growth.

Italia, the world’s second-largest market in terms of the number of ISO certifications, is the company’s main market, and these new resources will enable Complaion to consolidate its leadership position.

Founded in 2024 by Edoardo Tarricone, CEO, Marco Cortinovis, COO, and Alessandro Vaccarino, CTO, Complaion has recently expanded its network to Spain, its first overseas market, and plans to continue growing across Europe. Complaion’s services are aimed at one million SMEs that require ISO certifications to take part in public tenders – a potential market worth 2,000 billion euros in commercial opportunities – or to qualify as approved suppliers to large enterprises.

Compliance: a driver of growth

“Compliance should not be a barrier to growth, but a catalyst for unlocking new opportunities,” explains Edoardo Tarricone, co-founder and CEO of Complaion. “In an increasingly digital world, the human experience must remain central, especially in a complex market such as compliance.”

“We have chosen to invest in Complaion because it operates in a broad and structural market that is set to grow, driven by increasing regulatory requirements and the need for small and medium-sized enterprises to demonstrate their level of compliance,” adds Nicolas Debock, General Partner at Eurazeo. “The founding team has gained extensive experience within the Italian B2B ecosystem and possesses a deep understanding of the market’s structural challenges and the key pain points for businesses. This represents a fundamental point of differentiation, alongside its comprehensive offering, for Italian and European SMEs.”

“Complaion is a perfect fit for Italian Founders Fund, as it operates in a vast and rapidly growing market such as that of ISO certification, where Italia is the leading market in Europe and the second largest in the world,” says Lorenzo Franzi, Founding Partner of Italian Founders Fund (IFF). “The company is transforming a sector that has traditionally been opaque and complex by combining innovative technology with core expertise, enabling thousands of SMEs to access public tenders today,”.
