WithLess joins A-Road to accelerate the future of procurement and expense management in Europe

Milan, 26th June 2025 – WithLess, the Italian B2B startup automating expense control and procurement for tech companies, has officially joined A-Road, the first acceleration and fundraising program in Italy dedicated to scaleups aiming for a fast and successful path toward a Series A round.

WithLess is building a powerful and intuitive platform to manage every step of the company spend lifecycle – from vendor onboarding to payment – giving finance teams full control, real-time visibility, and fewer spreadsheets. Since launch, it has already been adopted by fast-growing tech companies that wanted a better alternative to messy approvals, shared cards, and disconnected tools.

"Being selected by A-Road is both an honour and a validation of the mission we’re pursuing: to help companies take back control of their spend with visibility and structure, and save time and money," said Gianluca Treu, CEO & Co-founder of WithLess. "We’re excited to join a cohort of high-quality startups and get the support to grow smarter and faster."

WithLess will be mentored by Paola Bonomo, who brings extensive experience across finance, technology and corporate governance. Currently a member of the investment committee at NEVA SGR and a non-executive board member at Admiral Group, INWIT and FAAC, she will provide valuable strategic insight to support WithLess’s growth. A high-level mentor to help navigate upcoming challenges with clarity and direction.

A-Road offers a structured 6-month program focused on mentoring, execution, and strategic support from a curated network of high-profile mentors, leading industry partners, successful founders, and investors. The program includes a €200,000 investment in each company and provides mentorship and fundraising support, access to training workshops, and free professional services.

“We are excited to welcome BonusX, Ciao Elsa, Displaid, WithLess, and WordLift to A-Road. With the support of our mentors and partners - and with the goal of reaching a Series A round in a short timeframe - these scaleups have the opportunity to accelerate their development and follow a growth path that leads to performance significantly above the average in their respective sectors, as demonstrated by the results achieved by the companies that have taken part in the program over its first four years,” comments Fabio Mondini de Focatiis, Founding Partner at Growth Capital.

The official launch event took place on June 26th, with Gianluca Treu, CEO & Co-founder andThomas Alisi, CTO & Co-founder of WithLess, who attended and shared the company’s story and vision.
