iubenda
👤 Andrea Giannangelo & Domenico Vele (Giannangelo encoded privacy law into self-serve software in 2011 - years before GDPR forced it onto every website on earth.)🌐 site𝕏LinkedIn
Before GDPR, two Italians turned Europe's coming privacy-law wave into a subscription every website is forced to buy.
Will it work? · our read
Law = moat. Every EU website legally needs a privacy policy; iubenda sells the one that updates itself - boring, mandatory, recurring, and cloned only at the surface.

team.blue - iubenda joins forces (2021): 80K customers, 100+ countries, about 100 staffWikipedia - iubenda: founded 2011 Milan; ePrivacy 2015 and GDPR 2018 drove growth; acquired by team.blueiubenda pricing - subscription, auto-updated by in-house lawyers, from $5.99/mo per siteiubenda - about: 150,000+ businesses across Europe and the AmericasDLA Piper - advised team.blue on the iubenda majority acquisition (Feb 2022)
Revenue is undisclosed - team.blue never released terms (only a "majority stake"). First-party facts: 80,000 customers at the 2021 acquisition (team.blue release), 150,000+ now, pricing from $5.99/mo (iubenda). The "about $24M" ARR is a third-party aggregator estimate (not independently confirmed), not confirmed - treat it as a rough EST. Founders, 2011 founding, and the auto-update-by-lawyers subscription model are first-party. The "dies" scenario and the platform-bundling risk are our read, not documented iubenda events. We never score you.
