“We invested in Live Story because it addresses one of the major inefficiencies in digital commerce: the slow and rigid management of visual and narrative content,” says Alessandro Pontari, Partner at Vertis SGR. “The platform helps brands drastically reduce their time-to-market through a visual CMS that integrates seamlessly with any tech stack. In a world where content and UX are key to conversion, Live Story represents the future of digital experience”.
Founded in the United States with the original vision of turning social media content into instantly purchasable assets, Live Story has evolved into a visual CMS platform designed to simplify and empower omnichannel digital experience management. The platform enables Marketing, Design, and Digital teams to create and manage content without relying on technical resources, reducing development times by up to 80%, boosting operational efficiency, and ensuring consistent brand identity across all digital touchpoints.
Live Story integrates easily with any technology stack and is already trusted by over 100 brands in Italy, including Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Max Mara Fashion Group, BottegaVeneta, Gruppo OVS, and Illy. The company is also expanding into new verticals such as insurance, finance, and pharma, in addition to its stronghold in fashion, luxury, lifestyle, and food.
At the core of Live Story’s roadmap is the integration of generative and predictive AItechnologies, aimed at delivering dynamic, personalized, and conversion-optimized user experiences – with a strong focus on CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization).
“We’re thrilled to welcome Vertis and a group of highly experienced business angels as new partners,” says Stefano Mocellini, Founder & CEO of Live Story.
“This investment will allow us to further strengthen our presence in Europe and continue innovating at the intersection of creativity, UX, and AI. Our goal is clear: to become the go-to platform for creating bold, high-impact digital experiences”.
