Bari, the regional capital of Puglia in southern Italy, is represented here by seven funded startups spanning aerospace, artificial intelligence, financial services, health care, apps, and education. Seed rounds account for four of the seven disclosed stage labels, signaling a predominantly early-stage profile. The largest disclosed raise belongs to GenomeUp, an AI company that closed a $5M Series Unknown round in April 2025. Two further $2M Seed rounds followed within the same year: XBOOKS (financial services, May 2025) and Astradyne (aerospace, materials, and electronics, September 2025), compressing three separate closes into roughly five months. AI appears twice in the dataset — GenomeUp and Data Masters, the latter having raised a smaller $210K Seed in October 2023. The lone Series A in the set is Marshmallow Games, a mobile apps company that raised $2M in June 2022. BeForPharma (health care, 2024) and auLAB Srl (education, 2021) round out the picture, with one undisclosed amount and one unlabeled stage.
