We want to be your first institutional investor, and we're comfortable doing it on our own: those early conversations, when bold ideas challenge the status quo, are exactly the moments when we lean in.
We are generalists, but in Fintech, B2B Software and Connected World we know the dynamics deeply, while Healthtech excites us most in its convergence with AI, a domain we know inside out. Across these verticals, our networks are deep and specific, opening concrete paths to customers, partners, talent, and the right follow-on capital.
We invest pre-Series A, writing checks between €500k and €2m
Step Fund invests in digital and software startups at the pre-Series A stage. Our initial investment ranges from €0.5M to €2M, and we typically act as the lead investor, contributing the majority of the funding round. We focus on Italian startups or international startups with an established branch in Italy.
If the company hasn’t been formally established yet, that’s not an issue. We are happy to connect with teams at the very earliest stages to build a strong relationship from the ground up.
