ABOUT STEVEN.COM FUND

The first fund, Flight Fund, backed the most disruptive founders in consumer and tech: the innovators building products people can't put down, and companies that go on to define their category. It has been incredibly successful, backing category-defining companies such as SpaceX, Groq, Huel, Replit, and Lovable. Founded by Steven Bartlett, Fund II is the next chapter of Flight Fund, building on its blueprint and its success.

Fund II continues our focused thesis in Series A consumer product and consumer/prosumer tech, with a growth-stage lens for backing the next generation of category-defining companies.

The funds sit within Steven.com, the end-to-end operating system for the creator economy, designed to scale what is irreplaceably human. Steven.com scales creators across Media, Community, and Products, powered by proprietary tech and data and an obsessed team of 150 experts across the UK and US. Founders who join the portfolio get more than capital; they gain mentorship, guidance, and access to the full Steven.com ecosystem and Steven's wider network.

We are currently building Fund II from the ground up - raising capital, hiring, and implementing the operating platform and high-touch investor experience to match our ambition. It is an exciting time to join a small, focused team with the backing and reach of one of the most recognised names in the creator and investment world.
