In an era where industrial efficiency depends increasingly on fast, accurate and reliable data management, Italian startup LIV4 has secured 500 thousand euros in pre seed funding to accelerate the development of its generative AI platform. The investment will support team expansion, product enhancements and new strategic partnerships as the company positions itself to modernise how enterprises manage quality processes. The round was led by business angels with deep operational and manufacturing expertise, along with support from major Italian financial institutions.
Tackling the Complexity of Quality Management
Quality management remains one of the most resource intensive and highly regulated components of industrial operations. Companies routinely face delays caused by repetitive manual tasks, scattered data sources and human error in documentation and compliance processes. Early feedback from companies piloting LIV4 indicates a significant need for tools that reduce operational time and improve accuracy.
LIV4’s platform is designed to address these challenges directly. Instead of navigating long documents and rigid systems, teams can query and access quality data using natural language. The technology also automates regulated documentation, technical writing, process traceability and validation workflows, allowing companies to move away from time consuming manual activities.
A Platform Built for Industrial Quality
The LIV4 platform combines natural language understanding with advanced generative AI models to interpret complex technical contexts. It pulls from enterprise systems and structured data to create fully formatted and compliance ready documents. This allows quality teams to generate, analyse and validate information faster and more reliably.
By offering a single interface for extracting information and generating documentation, the system aims to streamline quality management across highly regulated industries, where precision and traceability are essential.
From Travel Tech to Industrial AI
LIV4 was founded in 2025 by Patricia Achinca and Matteo Giunchedi, but its origins date back to 2023, when the founders first developed an intelligent information management solution for travel organisations. As they refined the technology, they discovered that the most urgent and underserved needs existed within industrial quality systems.
After extensive research, experimentation and pilot deployments, the founders identified a clear market gap. Many industrial companies had accumulated years of data but lacked intelligent tools to interpret, connect and use that information effectively.
Their mission became clear: turn industrial quality management into a strategic advantage powered by generative AI.
Founder Vision and Market Validation
“Our vision is to help companies transform industrial quality into a truly strategic process,” said Achinca and Giunchedi. They emphasise that LIV4’s proprietary platform understands technical contexts and can automatically produce documents that meet regulatory and formatting standards.
With the new funding, LIV4 plans to expand product capabilities, grow its team and accelerate adoption within Italian industry. The company has already launched pilot projects with organisations such as Nupi Industrie Italiane and is working with partners in the food and beverage, earthmoving and manufacturing sectors.
Strong Investor Confidence from Industry Leaders
LIV4’s funding round brought together business angels with decades of experience in industrial operations, software and manufacturing. Investors include Bernhard Konzet, Claudio Ognibene, Sean Milloy and Giovanni Giunchedi, each bringing targeted insight into enterprise needs and digital transformation.
Konzet, who has extensive experience in quality management, said he was convinced by LIV4’s practical approach and understanding of industrial complexity. He noted that many companies already have robust information systems in place, but lack the ability to unlock the full value of their data.
Scaling for the Next Stage
The company currently employs seven people and plans to expand significantly in the coming months. The new hires will focus on engineering, product development and customer implementation to ensure the platform can scale across more industries and regulatory environments.
As organisations embrace digital transformation, LIV4 aims to become a central tool in the shift toward automated, data driven and strategically aligned quality processes. By combining generative AI with industry specific expertise, the startup is positioning itself at the forefront of a major transformation in how industrial companies manage compliance and operational excellence.
