Tenity Backs Soource in €3M Seed Round to Reinvent Supplier Intelligence with AI

Tenity joins Soource’s €3 million Seed round alongside lead investor Vertis, 360 Capital, and Club degli Investitori. The Milan-based startup is building the AI-powered intelligence layer for enterprise procurement – a market that remains largely fragmented and underserved despite its strategic importance.

Milan – Zurich, June 16, 2026 – Tenity is backing Soource, an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform helping enterprises discover, qualify, and manage suppliers through proprietary data and agentic AI workflows. Vertis led the €3 million Seed round, with participation from 360 Capital and Club degli Investitori.

Founded in 2024 by Maicol Verzotto, Nazareno Mario Ciccarello, Silvia Chiarot, Serena Galli, and Luca Taddeo, Soource is building the data infrastructure layer that modern procurement teams need to operate efficiently in an increasingly complex and uncertain global environment.

At Tenity, we look for founders tackling large, underserved markets with differentiated solutions and strong execution capabilities. Soource stood out on all three dimensions:

  • Strong team: Commercially driven founders with exceptional execution capabilities and strong founder-market fit.
  • Clear customer pull: Rapid enterprise adoption, meaningful recurring revenue, and early signs of a repeatable GTM engine.
  • Large market opportunity: Procurement remains highly fragmented and underserved, creating a significant opportunity for AI-powered supplier intelligence.

The company’s vision extends beyond supplier discovery. By combining trusted data infrastructure with AI orchestration, Soource allows procurement teams to move from manual workflows to intelligent, automated decision-making processes.

Commenting on the investment, Guillermo Forteza, Investment Lead Europe (INC II) at Tenity, said:

“We are excited to back Soource as they modernize one of the most under-digitized parts of enterprise procurement. The team has shown exceptional commercial execution, strong customer pull, and a clear vision to turn supplier discovery into a broader vendor intelligence layer for large companies.”

Maicol Verzotto, CEO and Co-founder of Soource, added:

“Bringing Tenity into Soource is something I am particularly proud of. Their international profile and the network they make available to the startups they believe in is exactly what we need to accelerate our vision: making supplier data and AI agents orchestration a strategic asset for every large company in the world.”

The new funding will support Soource’s continued product development, team expansion, and international growth as the company strengthens its leadership position in Italy and expands across European markets.

Tenity looks forward to supporting the team on their journey to redefine how enterprises discover, evaluate, and manage suppliers in the age of AI.
