What Aulab Srl does

Aulab Srl is an Italian private technology education company headquartered in Bari, Italy, operating as the country's first dedicated Tech School since its founding in 2014. The company delivers structured live and on-demand training programs — most prominently the Hackademy+ Web Development Master, the Data Analyst Master, and an expanding catalog of specialization tracks (Cybersecurity, Flutter, Java, ReactJS, C#/.NET, UX/UI Design, Project Management, BIM Specialist) — plus a growing suite of AI-focused courses spanning foundational AI literacy, Agentic AI & Python, AI for Finance/Legal/Marketing/Education, and AI & Agentic Developer. Course delivery is built around a registered proprietary teaching methodology (Il Metodo Aulab, ideated in 2015) using a 3-phase learning-by-doing structure, hosted on a proprietary learning management system and integrating tools including Google Colab, Figma, Tableau, Power BI, LangChain, n8n, and Flowise. Graduates receive officially recognized credentials including Certipass Web App Developer certification and Accredible blockchain-verifiable digital certifications, with UNI 11648:2022 accreditation for the Project Management track and Alta Formazione 'Master di Primo Livello' programs in partnership with Unimercatorum awarding 60 CFU European university credits.

Aulab operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with self-serve enrollment through aulab.it, inside sales via WhatsApp and a toll-free 800 number, free introductory courses as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool, and event-driven enrollment (e.g., Digital Summer Camp). Distribution was expanded in 2024 through a retail partnership with MediaWorld to promote AI education across Italy. The company's customer base is bifurcated: (1) career-changers and professionals paying individual tuition ranging from approximately €1,975 to €8,000, with over 10,000 students trained cumulatively and a self-reported 90% placement rate; and (2) corporate enterprises and employers served through a dedicated B2B portal (aulab.it/corporate) and the Career Lab placement platform that connects graduates to hiring partners including Accenture, NTT Data, Deloitte, EY, Capgemini, Luxottica, Unity, Avanade, and others. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, is a member of Multiversity Group, and is led by CEO & Founder Davide Neve alongside CTO & Co-founder Giancarlo Valente.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time tuition fees for paid professional and master programs, supplemented by corporate training contracts and Alta Formazione university-path programs. Disclosed cumulative funding totals approximately $1.29M across six rounds from 2014 to 2021, with SocialFare leading the 2019 and 2020 rounds; no institutional venture capital rounds or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The company's operating geography is exclusively Italy, with no current international expansion signals identified.
