Investment thesis
Step Venture aims to be a startup's first institutional investor, willing to lead rounds on its own during the earliest phases when founders are challenging the status quo. Though generalists, the firm has deep expertise in Fintech, B2B Software, and Connected World, and is especially drawn to Healthtech at its convergence with AI. It leverages deep, specific networks to open paths to customers, partners, talent, and follow-on capital. Step Fund invests in digital and software startups at the pre-Series A stage, focusing on Italian companies or international startups with an established Italian branch, and is open to engaging with teams before formal incorporation.
