A total of 21 Italian startups surpassed the million-euro revenue mark in 2012. Twenty-one of the more than 2100 registered in the Ministry of Economic Development's register of innovative companies. This means that one in a hundred makes it there. Few? Indeed, few, considering that a million-euro revenue mark is certainly not a milestone for a startup. For many, the goal is to become a "billion-dollar company" and join the Unicorn Club , which currently includes only three European startups and no Italian ones. Geographically, the 21 are distributed as follows: 9 in the north (5 in Lombardy, 2 in Padua, 1 in Turin, and 1 in Pordenone); 7 in central Italy (2 in Rome and Bologna, 1 in Ancona, 1 in Macerata, and 1 in Perugia); 5 in the south and on the islands (2 in Cagliari, one in Monopoli, one in Taranto, and one in the province of Vibo Valentia).
We are certainly happy with this result and with being among the 21 #TopPerformance Startups! but this is only the beginning of a new adventure…
