Qurami's Founders met up at the Start Up Weekend in Italy in late 2010.

Since then we established a deep and trustful commitment that led Qurami to become a company 4 months later.

We have integrated our personalities and skills in a team that works efficiently, always looking for a better solution and careful about how to contribute to improve the quality of customers' life.

The team is composed by 5  key people:

Roberto Macina (CEO & co-founder) - Software Engineer. Roberto worked as a software engineer for an important telecommunication company in Italy before Qurami. Roberto also played 10 years in football at a competitive level in the role of quarterback in Rome, sport has taught me values ​​such as sacrifice, leadership and teamwork winning 5 titles in Italy.

Alessio Palaferri (COO & co-founder) - Electrical and telecommunications engineer. Alessio has 3 years of experience in consulting (system integration and automotive), Alessio spent three months in Boston at Northeastern University to continue his degree's research about new mobile technologies in 2009.

Manolo Abrignani (Biz Dev Director & co-founder) - BA Econ. Manolo won a scholarship to attend the European School of Economics in Rome. Due to the pragmatic academic system Manolo had to simulate a start-up company lounching as his second year project. That project became his first start-up. "chimp co. |  design goes ape" then became "Studio Brutus" in five years of professional growth from a super local market to the one made of multinational companies and international advertising campaigns. After that Manolo has been called in a new challenge in the REAL ESTATE sector: in 3 years Manolo has been engaged in studying, implementing and launching a new Real Estate Firm and managment software based not on the traditional franchising model, but rathern on the new "social shopping criteria" in which the internet based features were the most innovative on the market.

Luca Escoffier (CIO) - IP & Innovation Manager (U.S. green card holder). Luca has more than 10 years of experience in IP and innovation. He is a tech transfer professional, Fellow at Stanford and Adjunct Researcher at Waseda University.

She specializes in performing business valuations and valuations of intangible assets for a range of purposes, including: Mergers & acquisitions, financial reporting, technology commercialization decisions, tax compliance, transfer pricing, and litigation damages. She led complex valuation and litigation engagements for clients, ranging in size from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups, from a diverse range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, industrial chemicals, software, hardware and entertainment. 

We have a structured business model that will contribute to a fast adoption of our technology.

For his first service Qurami refers to a fairly simple business model based on two types of revenues (in two different phases):

STEP 1 - fixed annual fee paid by the customer AND/OR a processing fee, which is variable according to the number of end users.

STEP 2 – geolocalized ads through splashscreens showed during the issuance of the e-ticket.

To know more about our service offerings, we will be physically present at the event with a demo table and we will  be plased to be in touch with you! 

Qurami's competitive advantage is related to its capability of saving customers' time in the easiest, cheapest and most intuitive way in many situations of everyday life.

Qurami app, by its nature, is a universal platform,  which easily and seamlessly integrates with existing ticketing machines as a result of research studies conducted by the Qurami team, to make it the reference app for time saving while queueing. This is one of the main distinguishing factors between Qurami and other similar solutions that are tied up to a single type of ticketing machine or they are just stand-alone products.

Contacts and strong links  in Europe, Asia and the Americas are also among our key streghts.
