💡 Why Join Us Now?
The price comparison market is ripe for disruption. The model has been very successful over the last decade, with multiple unicorns created, but little has changed over the past 10 years. We believe the rise of AI technologies presents a unique opportunity to disrupt this market.
📈 Our Competitive Edge
Cresce benefits from strong strategic partnerships. It can count on the 3.6 million client’s of Fastweb, Italy’s leading Telco, enabling rapid user adoption as well as Fastweb’s large-scale NVIDIA DGX AI-powered supercomputer (the first in Italy) for later stage training. Additionally, the project is backed by Founders Factory, whose founder built LastMinute.com, one of the first wave of successful comparison platforms now quoted on the stock market with over €300M yearly revenue.
