Press release · 28 April 2026

Always Friday closes a €1.05M pre-seed round.

The round was led by Vento Ventures and P3 Ventures, with the participation of business angels from the Italian startup ecosystem. The funding supports the growth of the technology team and the development of proprietary AI agents that automate the operational work behind corporate events.

“We’re building a platform that brings structure and automation to an industry that still runs largely on manual work. AI helps us remove operational overhead while keeping full control over execution and quality.”
