Steve is the Founder and Partner at Activant Capital. His investing career started when his grandfather taught him how to read stock charts, but officially began at Robertson Stephens, before working his way up through the likes of McKinsey and American Capital. After finding success in growth and buyout, Steve founded Activant to bridge the gap between venture and traditional growth equity by focusing on high-growth companies with an active operational approach. He has since grown the firm to $1.2bn in AUM and drives Activant's long-term strategy.
Global Investment firm with over $2.3B AUM appoints SA-Native Robert Lamprecht as Head of Research
We’re excited to put down roots in Cape Town. Activant has always been a thesis-led firm; by focusing intensely on a few key sectors – commerce infrastructure, fintech, and supply chain – we can find, invest in, and support the best founders and companies. Our Cape Town team allows us to double down on this thesis-first approach. The city offers a deep pool of talent, an amazing quality of life, and shares a time zone with Berlin, making it an ideal location for Activant as we expand.
