About
Step Fund refers to the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform, an EU-level initiative designed to mobilize large-scale public and private investment into critical strategic technologies and infrastructure projects across the 27 EU member states, rather than a traditional VC fund for individual startups.

Investment Thesis
Step Fund is an EU initiative to mobilize large-scale public and private investment in strategic technologies and infrastructure across member states. It is not a typical VC fund and does not follow traditional startup funding stages, focusing instead on broader EU strategic projects.
Manager's Experience
The oversight team consists of high-level European Union officials and Member State representatives with extensive public policy and financial management experience. Their expertise lies in managing large-scale EU funding programs for strategic technologies and infrastructure, rather than private VC management.
