Step Venture

Step Venture is a European early-stage venture firm whose public footprint suggests a generalist seed and pre-Series A focus across software and technology themes, with limited specific data on healthcare specialization or AI emphasis from the inputs provided. Firms in this profile typically deploy checks in the range of two hundred fifty thousand to one and a half million euros at seed, with the ability to follow on selectively in subsequent rounds. The natural fit is a European software company with a clear product, early commercial signals, and ambitions to scale across the continent or globally. Healthcare AI founders can engage if the company is fundamentally software-led with a credible commercial wedge into healthcare buyers, particularly in markets where European regulatory and reimbursement dynamics matter. Companies building therapeutics, complex devices, or pure consumer health products without enterprise dynamics are unlikely to find specialist expertise here. Founders should not expect deep healthcare regulatory or clinical coaching, but they should value the European network and the credibility a regional seed lead provides for subsequent fundraising. The best entry path is a warm introduction from a portfolio CEO, a fellow European seed investor, or an operator in the firm’s network. Direct outreach via the website or LinkedIn to the partners is acceptable for cold contact, ideally paired with a tight executive summary, evidence of European commercial traction, and a specific articulation of why the firm’s network adds value beyond capital.
