Investment thesis

Big Pi Ventures is a multi-stage technology investment platform with a global remit, anchored in Greece and Southeast Europe. The firm follows a 'tech-first' approach — not merely tech-enabled — backing companies where technology and intellectual property are core to the value proposition, with strong IP in areas such as AI, biotech, blockchain, and deep tech. A key criterion is that portfolio companies maintain a meaningful connection to Greece, whether through operations, founders, customers, or other links. Operating across two vehicles — an early-stage fund (pre-seed/seed) and Big Pi Growth I (the first tech growth equity fund out of Southeast Europe, targeting €200M) — the firm supports extraordinary entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey, from bold beginnings to global scale. Big Pi leverages its international experience and regional edge, believing that Greece and Southeast Europe provide fertile terrain for technology companies serving international markets, thanks to exceptional talent and cost-effective operating hubs.

Our approach is 'tech-first'—not just tech-enabled—meaning companies must have strong IP. What we consistently look for is technology that solves a significant, painful problem for a well-defined group of users who are willing to pay for a solution. The technology must also be defensible—it should be hard to replicate.
