This investor-centric approach has enabled the firm to create valuable connections between capital providers and innovative businesses poised for significant growth.

With an impressive track record spanning various transaction types, iStarter has successfully facilitated funding for more than 40 scaleups, ranging from seed-stage capital injections to substantial growth investments.

Originally founded through the collaborative effort of 100 "Equity Partners" - a network of accomplished entrepreneurs and C-level executives who actively participated in evaluating and supporting selected initiatives - iStarter developed a unique operational model combining financial expertise with practical business acumen. This distinctive structure provided portfolio companies with not only capital access but also strategic guidance from experienced industry leaders. In a significant development marking its evolution, ClubDeal SpA acquired iStarter in 2020, further enhancing its capabilities and reach within the European investment advisory landscape.
