About Akeron

The playbook for Akeron began with a team that already had a major success under its belt. The founders of CCH Tagetik, a global leader in corporate performance management, decided to embark on a new journey. Based in Lucca, Italy, founder Manuel Vellutini, along with Co-CEOs Marco Pierallini and Elena Fanfani, started Akeron to develop enterprise software focused on improving business performance and productivity. The company develops software to manage sales performance, contracts, and project-based businesses, aiming to put people at the center of the processes. Their goal was to help clients increase efficiency and drive growth. Akeron serves a wide range of customers, from small companies to major names like Prada and Decathlon. A significant chapter in the Akeron story unfolded in July 2024, when the company announced it had raised a total of €30 million in capital over the previous two years. This funding was earmarked for international expansion and to further the development of its artificial intelligence capabilities. The investment followed a period of strong growth, with sales increasing by nearly 50% in 2023 and the workforce growing by about 30%. This positioned Akeron to expand the global profile of its software platforms and champion Italian innovation in the IT sector.
