Our history

Eggup was founded in 2013 by Cristian De MitriCEO – and Pietro TestaCTO. They both share an engineering educational background and they both attended F. Morosini Military Navy School in Venice, which is where they met 15 years ago.

On the basis of their previous work experiences and their military education, they immediately realized that successful teams all have similar best practices in common, which are related to the way team members are able to work together.

Since there was no specific formula to be applied for the organization of highly performing teams, Cristian and Pietro

decided to devote themselves to solving this problem and thus founded Eggup in October 2013.

Eggup was born as a Software as a Service (SaaS) for the analysis of individual and team skills. Over the last few years the company has significantly grown from a strategic and technological point of view in the HR-Tech industry.

In March 2022, Eggup became part of the Zucchetti Group, a leading provider in Italy for software, hardware, and services to businesses.
