This fundraising marks the initial step of a larger capital increase that the company plans to finalize by the end of 2025, after the previous operations of €5 million in 2021 and €5.8 million in 2023.
Indaco Venture Partners SGR participated through its flagship fund, Indaco Ventures I, and the newly established Indaco Ventures I – Parallel Lombardia Fund.

The evolution of the company
This achievement marks an extraordinary milestone for Easyrain, a former startup grown in I3P, which in 2024 secured a major commercial success: attaining Tier 1 supplier status by signing a contract with a leading car manufacturer to supply its DAI (Digital Advanced Information) virtual anti-aquaplaning sensor. The first vehicle equipped with this groundbreaking software system, capable of detecting both partial and complete aquaplaning, will be introduced to the market in 2025.
Beyond commercial achievements, 2024 was a landmark year for Easyrain's technological advancements. Highlights include:
- expanding the Digital Advanced Information virtual sensor platform with new software capable of detecting tyre pressure loss, tread wear, and suspension asymmetry;
- launching the next-generation Aquaplaning Intelligent Solution (AIS), designed to be lighter and more industrialisation-ready;
- developing revolutionary solutions to counter snow and ice-related grip loss and enhance the performance of ADAS and autonomous driving systems.
Looking ahead, Easyrain is preparing for 2025 with plans to grow its team by 30% compared to 2024, focusing on key market-driven projects. Easyrain continues its commitment to innovation and safety, solidifying its position as a leader in automotive technology.
