BigProfiles: Our history

“Everything started from a PHD”

BigProfiles was founded in 2017 when Lorenzo Luce, CEO of BigProfiles, was undertaking a PHD of Computer Engineering at the University of Roma tre.

Lorenzo’s goal during his scientific research was to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm that could automatically process publicly available heterogeneous information about people and companies.

Only with the involvement of his dear friend Roberto Visceglia, former COO of the company, the idea became a business.

Together they’ve founded BigProfiles, bringing to the market a software platform which has received significant funding from major Italian venture capital funds.

After an initial investment made by the founders, BigProfiles was admitted to the Luiss Enlabs Acceleration Program, receiving 80.000 euro in funding. Thanks to the excellent results achieved, in September 2017 it opened a new capital increase, raising over 600.000 euro from CdP Ventures and LVenture Group (now Zest Group). In January 2020, it closed a further round of 1.500.000 euro to launch its international expansion. In 2022, BigProfiles closed its last capital round, reaching 3.000.000 euro of venture capital, to expand into the US market.
