Investment thesis

Sista Fund is a pan-European venture capital fund focused on backing exceptional female founders and gender-balanced teams. It leads early-stage rounds from pre-seed to seed, having deployed around €70m, primarily across Europe with select opportunities in the US. The fund concentrates on healthtech, deeptech, sustainability and fintech, supporting founders who challenge the status quo and aim to build category-defining companies. As entrepreneurs themselves, the partners emphasize hands-on involvement, working alongside a community of founders and advisors to help companies grow faster from the outset.
