Lucca, March 3, 2025

Valuematic S.r.l., an innovative startup and spin-off of the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, founded by Professors Nicola Lattanzi and Mirco Tribastone, announces the completion of a capital increase of € 850,000.

The funding round is led by Tech4Planet – the National Technology Transfer Hub for Environmental Sustainability promoted by CDP Venture Capital. The operation is participated by Progress Tech Transfer and the Toscana Next Fund– a co-investment fund created to support startups and innovation initiatives in the Tuscany region, established and managed by CDP Venture Capital SGR and subscribed to by the region’s leading banking foundations (Fondazione CR Firenze, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca, Fondazione Caript, Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena).
This investment marks a crucial step in launching SYDA, the world’s first Synaptic Autoscaler, set to revolutionize cloud infrastructure management.
SYDA is an innovative solution born from over ten years of research by a team of computer science and business modeling experts, led by Professors Nicola Lattanzi and Mirco Tribastone, CEO and CTO of Valuematic, respectively. Utilizing proprietary artificial intelligence technology inspired by the adaptability of brain synapses, SYDA ensures unprecedented cloud resource management, optimizing operational costs and efficiency.

A Revolutionary Technology for the Cloud

SYDA is a synaptic Autoscaler that processes telemetry data from cloud applications, mimicking the typical activity of neurons that regulate synaptic strength to maintain optimal performance levels. This approach enables:

• Automatic optimization of resource allocation based on required performance targets.
• Reduction of operational costs while simultaneously improving IT service efficiency and significantly lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
• Balancing costs, performance, and reliability, even under fluctuating workloads or unexpected scenarios.

Unlike traditional Autoscaler, which are often limited by static models, SYDA can continuously adapt to workload demands, ensuring required performance levels at the minimum cost.

Strategic Support from CDP Venture Capital and New International Managers

CDP Venture Capital SGR and Progress Tech Transfer invested in Valuematic following the successful completion of a Proof of Concept (PoC) for SYDA in collaboration with a leading European operator and the presentation of an ambitious industrial development plan by Valuematic.
Additionally, the company has strengthened its leadership by bringing in two internationally renowned managers to accelerate project growth: Andrea Ragnetti, who also serves as Chairman of the Board, and Lorenzo Farina, who brings thirty years of experience as an entrepreneur and expert in strategic marketing and communication.

“We recognized SYDA’s potential from the beginning”, said Claudia Pingue, Senior Partner and Head of the Technology Transfer Fund at CDP Venture Capital SGR. “Our goal is to support advanced technological solutions that not only meet market needs but also significantly contribute to the progress of the IT sector and resource optimization, including from an environmental sustainability perspective.”

Growth Rooted in the Region and Open to the Future

Valuematic is expanding into international markets while keeping its headquarters in Tuscany at the Lucca Technology Hub, where it will continue to nurture local expertise and seek young talent eager to tackle future challenges.
“The birth of SYDA marks the beginning of a new era for cloud autoscaling”, stated Valuematic CEO Nicola Lattanzi. "The entry of strategic partners such as CDP Venture Capital SGR and Progress Tech Transfer, along with internationally renowned management, represents a significant validation of our technology’s value and an opportunity to accelerate development and bring SYDA to global markets. Valuematic is ready to redefine the future of cloud computing. Our team is growing: those interested in joining this revolution can apply at www.valuematic.it".
