A-Cube

What A-Cube does

A-Cube s.r.l. is an Italian API-first RegTech company founded in 2018 in Milan that provides electronic invoicing and tax compliance automation across more than 30 countries. The platform exposes modular REST APIs covering the full compliance lifecycle — e-invoicing (Italian FatturaPA via SDI, Peppol, Chorus Pro, XRechnung/ZUGFeRD, KSeF), e-receipts (corrispettivi elettronici), e-reporting (DAC7, Italian Rentri), and compliant digital archiving (conservazione a norma) — alongside specialized endpoints for open banking, identity verification, and PDF-to-XML conversion. A-Cube operates as a certified Peppol Access Point and offers pre-built connectors for SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Stripe, enabling integration into enterprise ERP and payment ecosystems. Technologically, the platform is designed for composable adoption: customers can consume individual API modules or the full stack against a sandbox endpoint, with JWT-based authentication and a public documentation portal at docs.acubeapi.com.

The business model is a B2B SaaS / usage-based API offering sold primarily to software houses, SaaS providers, and multinational enterprises that need to embed multi-jurisdictional tax compliance into their own products or internal systems. Distribution is API-first and direct, augmented by developer-relations and content marketing (technical blog, free sandbox, case studies, industry events such as Netcomm and PHP Day 2026), with custom enterprise pricing handled via a sales contact form. Quantitative reach cited by the company stands at 450+ direct clients across 10+ countries, 600+ direct clients between software houses and companies, 120K+ companies reached through the platform, and 70M+ invoices processed since 2019. Founded by Alessandro Pagani and CTO Antonino Caccamo, A-Cube raised its first institutional round in May 2026 — a €4 million seed led by P101 SGR with participation from Sella Direct Ventures — earmarked for AI integration and expansion into adjacent digital tax reporting areas ahead of the EU VIDA directive.
