What was the role of Gruppo AQ in the operation?

The company Audit Quality, an integral part of Gruppo AQ’s multidisciplinary offering, has supported the 360 Fund in the strategic investment operation related to ISAAC. Our team of specialists managed the entire tax and accounting due diligence preparatory to the closing of the investment, contributing to the closure of the 14 million euro round.

The technical and in-depth investigation guaranteed the investors the financial security necessary to successfully complete the venture capital operation. The analytical and meticulous work of our professionals proves fundamental for mapping and mitigating business risks in the scaleup phase.

Led by partner Vincenzo Romano, our Transaction Services operational team carefully dissected every corporate aspect of the startup. The direct intervention of professionals Francesco Brunacci, Luca De Rosa, and Beatrice Cristofori allowed for the validation of the total solidity of the accounts before the final signature.

Why is tax and accounting due diligence strategic?

In investments in deep tech realities with very high potential, the timely validation of historical and prospective data represents the true watershed between success and failure. Major international financial operators always require crystal-clear and certified metrics to proceed with million-dollar disbursements in favor of new businesses.

Relying on the Direct Investment and transaction support services of Gruppo AQ means obtaining a complete, impartial, and rigorous X-ray of the target company. This inspection process promptly brings to light any latent liabilities, administrative bottlenecks, or non-compliance with the stringent regulations in force.

In the specific case of the ISAAC round, the certified accounting transparency facilitated the virtuous synergy between the prestigious co-investors involved. In fact, prominent players such as CDP Venture Capital, Axon Partners Group, Azimut Group, Ring Capital, and NovaCapital also participated in the huge capital increase.

How does ISAAC’s anti-seismic technology work?

Now that the corporate structure and accounts have been fully validated, the new large capitals will finance the development of the revolutionary proprietary Active Mass Damper systems. Initially born within the prestigious laboratories of the Politecnico di Milano, the company offers an advanced intelligent seismic retrofitting for the protection of buildings.

The most disruptive innovation of the project lies in the extreme simplicity of implementation on buildings already constructed. The installation of these special devices does not in fact require invasive structural interventions, thus safeguarding the normal operability and tranquility of those who live or work in the building under process.

Sophisticated intelligent algorithms analyze the vibrations of the structure in real time and immediately generate opposing forces to safely dissipate the destructive energy of the earthquake. The funds just raised will allow this highly scalable engineering technology to expand into the relevant complex international markets.

What impact will this round have on the Italian ecosystem?

This impressive and rapid capital injection clearly demonstrates that Italy has all the credentials to compete at the highest levels in the promising global PropTech sector. Actively supporting startups that combine the excellence of academic research with industrial development generates enormous strategic value for the entire country.

Our group firmly believes in the absolute importance of continuously assisting venture capital funds in their boldest choices. The technical support provided concretely facilitates the consolidation of innovative companies, capable of solving urgent and complex problems such as the structural safety of our cities.
